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: The study investigates determinants of left ventricular (LV) fibrosis in patients with inferolateral mitral annular disjunction (MAD). Methods and results: This single centre retrospective cohort study included 111 patients [median age 52 years (25th-75th percentile 36-69), 47% female] with inferolateral MAD that underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Mid-myocardial replacement fibrosis of the basal inferolateral LV wall was present in 27 (24%) patients. Patients with fibrosis were older [63.0 years (25th-75th percentile 53.0-70.0) vs. 47.5 years (25th-75th percentile 34.0-67.5), Conclusion: Age and accelerated longitudinal motion of the basal inferolateral LV segment are independent determinants of replacement fibrosis of the basal inferolateral wall in patients with MAD. The presence of bileaflet MVP and MAD size are significantly associated with this accelerated movement pattern.
