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

backgroundRight ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is a common complication of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy linked to poor outcomes. However, reliable noninvasive biomarkers for RVD remain lacking. This study aimed to identify urinary proteomic markers using mass spectrometry and machine learning.

methodsIn this prospective cohort, patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy were classified by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging into groups with RVD (RV ejection fraction <45%) and without RVD groups. Baseline urine samples were profiled by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. Differentially expressed proteins were identified and selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to build a diagnostic model, developed in a training set, and validated in a test set. The primary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death, heart failure rehospitalization, left ventricular assist device implantation, or heart transplantation.

resultsThe study enrolled 147 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (64 with RVD, 83 without), with a median follow-up of 19.3 months. Of 3579 quantified urinary proteins, 46 were differentially expressed between groups. A 3-protein panel (RARRES1 [retinoic acid receptor responder protein 1], MVB12B [multivesicular body subunit 12B], GSK3A [glycogen synthase kinase 3 alpha]) was identified and showed excellent diagnostic accuracy (training area under the curve 0.946; validation area under the curve0.935), outperforming both NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. The risk score derived from this panel effectively stratified patients, with the high-risk group exhibiting significantly worse outcomes than the low-risk group (hazard ratio, 3.24 [95% CI, 1.56-6.71],

conclusionsThe urinary proteomic panel developed in this study demonstrates diagnostic and prognostic potential for identifying RVD in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, providing a promising noninvasive tool for precise detection and clinical risk stratification.
