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

Background: Cardiac involvement in Fabry disease spans structural hypertrophy, mechanical dysfunction, and electrical conduction abnormalities that rarely progress in parallel. Although such discordant longitudinal behavior is commonly encountered in clinical practice, it has not been systematically organized within a coherent longitudinal framework. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicenter longitudinal study of 38 patients managed across three geographically distinct affiliated hospitals within the MacKay Memorial Hospital system, located in Taipei, Tamsui, and Hsinchu. Three major domain-specific remodeling patterns, including structural, mechanical, and electrical domains, were assessed and indexed by left ventricular mass index (LVMi), left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), and QRS duration using standard 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG), respectively. All echocardiographic domain measures were conducted using an AI-assisted deep learning-based platform (Us2.ai), which enables standardized longitudinal processing of multi-parametric measurements. Domain-specific longitudinal within-patient changes were classified by the sign of the numerical change (positive vs. negative), with adverse or non-adverse designation defined according to the domain-specific clinical meaning of each parameter, and compared between patients with and without enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Results: During a median of 5.3 years (interquartile range, 2.8-7.1 years) follow-up, electrical remodeling showed an adverse trend, with QRS duration increasing from 128.21 ± 31.18 ms to 139.63 ± 37.95 ms (Δ + 11.42 ms, 95% CI 5.93-16.92; Conclusion: AI-assisted longitudinal monitoring enables consistent characterization of non-parallel, domain-specific change patterns. Electrical-mechanical phenotypes were heterogeneous, with a significant difference in phenotype distribution between untreated and ERT-treated patients.
