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

Background: This study aimed to use four-dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D Auto LAQ) to quantitatively evaluate the morphological and functional changes in the left atrium (LA) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with early chronic kidney disease (CKD), and explore its correlation with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) occurrence. Methods: This study enrolled patients with asymptomatic T2DM complicated with early CKD. Then, 4D-Auto LAQ was used to evaluate LA volume index (minimum, maximum, pre-ejection) and LA longitudinal and circumferential strains during each of the three LA phases: reservoir, conduit, and contraction. The primary endpoint for follow-up was defined as the first occurrence of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure, or cardiac death. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to evaluate the correlation between LA parameters and the MACEs in T2DM patients with early CKD. Results: A total of 361 patients were analyzed (mean age, 59.51 ± 11.17 years). During a median follow-up period of 47 months (interquartile range, 17-59 months), MACEs occurred in 70 patients. After adjusting for various clinical and echocardiographic predictors, increased LA volume and impaired reservoir function (ResF) were each independently associated with the primary endpoint: Left atrium minimum volume index (LAVImin) had an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.21 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.35; Conclusions: An enlarged left atrium (LAVImin) and impaired ResF (LASr) are strongly associated with long-term outcomes in T2DM patients complicated with early CKD. LASr showed the strongest associations with the occurrence of MACEs.
