1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Left ventricular non compaction is a genetic cardiomyopathy with a high occurence in individuals of African ancestry and may present in adulthood with diagnostic challenges when there is advanced heart failure. Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging have mostly been used in making a diagnosis. However, there is a lack of these diagnostic tools required to aid in early diagnosis in Low and Middle Income Countries. The potential usefulness of echocardiography in this population is the focus of this case presentation.
