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

Aims: High frame rate (HFR) echocardiography captures myocardial mechanical waves (MWs), reflecting critical tissue properties. The aim was to assess the feasibility of 3D HFR echocardiography for estimating MW velocities in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and to compare MW velocities with those in controls. Methods and results: Twenty patients with ST-elevation AMI were included within 48 h of reperfusion therapy. 3D high-quality recordings (∼20 volumes/s) were acquired for myocardial segmentation and 3D HFR recordings (750 volumes/s) for measuring the atrial kick wave propagation velocity. MW velocities were compared with 20 controls. MW velocities were successfully measured in 93% of subjects (17 patients and 20 controls). The segmental feasibility was 97%. Global MW velocities were significantly higher in AMI patients than controls (2.1 ± 0.6 m/s vs. 1.5 ± 0.2 m/s, Conclusion: Estimation of MW velocities using 3D HFR echocardiography had excellent feasibility. MW velocities were higher in patients with AMI than in controls, in infarcted compared with healthy territories, and in segments with wall motion abnormalities. Future work should evaluate the clinical value in larger populations.
