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: The importance of right heart evaluation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is being increasingly acknowledged in both clinical practice and research. Cardiac magnetic resonance-feature tracking (CMR-FT) has emerged as a valuable approach for quantifying cardiac function and myocardial deformation. This study aimed to evaluate whether early right atrial (RA) dysfunction in patients with HCM, with or without RA enlargement (RAE), could be detected with CMR-FT. Methods: A total of 143 patients with HCM, divided into an RAE group (n=25) and a non-RAE group (n=118), along with 70 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were retrospectively included from June 2023 to July 2024 at three tertiary hospitals. RA reservoir strain (εs), conduit strain (εe), booster strain (εa), peak positive strain rate (SRs), peak early negative strain rate (SRe), and peak late negative strain rate (SRa) were obtained using CMR-FT. The Chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc analysis, linear regression analysis, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and Bland-Altman plots were applied for statistical analysis. Results: The HCM RAE group had significantly greater indexed RA maximum, pre-atrial contractile, and minimum volumes than did both the healthy control group and the HCM non-RAE group (all P values <0.05); there were no significant differences between the healthy control group and the HCM non-RAE group. Both the RAE and non-RAE groups exhibited significantly lower RA εs (31.77%±10.08% Conclusions: Patients with HCM exhibit impaired RA reservoir, conduit, and booster pump function even in the presence of normal RA volumes. CMR-FT-derived RA strain and strain rate may serve as more sensitive indicators than traditional RAEF metrics for identifying early RA dysfunction in patients with HCM.
