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

Introduction: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy was first proposed by the European Society of Cardiology in 2023, and imaging evaluation research on this cardiomyopathy remains insufficient. Case Report: We report a case of a 68-year-old female patient who experienced chest tightness and shortness of breath six months ago. Electrocardiogram revealed sinus bradycardia with a ventricular rate of 54 beats per minute. Coronary angiography showed generally normal results, while echocardiography indicated a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed mildly impaired left ventricular function (LVEF 47.4%), with focal mid-myocardial fibrosis in the basal anterior, septal, and inferior walls of the left ventricle, meeting the diagnostic criteria for non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy. According to ESC guidelines, the patient is currently under follow-up observation. Conclusion: The imaging diagnosis of non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy requires a comprehensive multimodal imaging approach. Cardiac magnetic resonance plays a crucial clinical role in the multimodal imaging evaluation of NDLVC.
