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

aimsLeft ventricular (LV) function is enhanced during exercise in endurance-trained (ET) compared to untrained (UT) healthy individuals. However, the volume responses of the right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA), and right atrium (RA) during exercise have not been studied in the same subject simultaneously and while standardizing for the respiratory influence on cardiac volumes. The aim was therefore to investigate how the four-chambered heart responds to exercise in ET and UT healthy individuals using exercise real-time cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) while controlling for effects of respiration. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty ET (9 women) and 13 UT healthy individuals matched for age and sex underwent CMR at rest and during moderate and vigorous exercise. LV and RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (EDV and ESV), stroke volumes (SV) and maximal and minimal LA and RA volumes (LAVmax, RAVmax and LAVmin, RAVmin) were measured at end expiration.

resultsLVEDV and LVESV decreased during exercise in both groups. RVEDV and RVESV decreased during exercise in ET but was unchanged in UT. LAVmax and LAVmin were unchanged from rest to vigorous exercise in both groups. RAVmax decreased during exercise in ET whilst RAVmin was unchanged, and RAVmax and RAVmin were unchanged in UT. Thus, the RV and RA volume responses during exercise differed between ET and UT.

conclusionThis study shows differences between ET and UT healthy individuals in adaptations to exercise when examining the four chambers simultaneously and even when standardizing for respiratory influences. This contributes to increased understanding of the RV volume adaptations in ET.
