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

To investigate the prognostic accuracy of three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DE) right ventricular (RV) data and compare it with that of risk stratification based on 2015 ESC Guidelines in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PcPH) patients. We prospectively enrolled PcPH patients from March 2017 to May 2018. 3DE sequences were analyzed by semi-automatic software (TomTec 4D RV-Function 2.0). RV end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), ejection fraction, longitudinal strain of septum and free wall, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion were obtained. All participants were classified into low and intermediate-high risk groups based on 2015 ESC Guidelines. Patients were followed-up till May 2019 for death due to RV failure as an end-point. We finally enrolled 112 PcPH patients (average 36 years, 39 males and 73 females) in our study. Mean follow-up time was 18 months, and 11 patients died. Receive operating characteristic curves identified RV-3D-EDV = 150 mL and RV-3D-ESV = 109 mL as optimal cut-offs. Multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses indicated RV-3D-EDV > 150 mL and RV-3D-ESV > 109 mL were independent predictors of mortality after adjusted by Risk stratification. McNemar-Bowker test revealed that compared with risk stratification, RV-3D-EDV > 150 mL (67.3% vs. 44.6%,
