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

backgroundCardiac involvement of the disease is a leading cause of death and disability in Fabry disease characterized by pathological accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and lyso-globotriaosylceramide (lyso-Gb3) in multiple organs. In this study, we sought to investigate the electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in different clinical stages and evaluate the value of these parameters in assessing cardiac involvement.

methods62 patients with Fabry disease and 45 healthy controls were recruited in this study. ECG assessment, echocardiographic assessment and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were recorded at rest in the same day. We divided Fabry disease patients into 4 groups according to echocardiographic assessment and CMR: Pre-detectable group, Non-hypertrophic group, Hypertrophic and pre-fibrotic group as well as Hypertrophic and fibrotic group.

resultsOur results showed that Tp-e/QT was significantly decreased and Sokolow-Lyon index was markedly increased following the development of disease. QRS width and Tp-e/QT was associated with the severity of cardiac involvement in Fabry disease.

conclusionsOur results demonstrated that QRS width and Tp-e/QT were associated with the severity of cardiac involvement in patients with Fabry disease and contributed to define the optimal intervention timepoint and assess the severity of cardiac involvement and response to disease-specific therapies.
