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

backgroundPectus excavatum (PE) is a common congenital chest wall deformity with various associated health concerns, including psychosocial impacts, academic challenges, and potential cardiopulmonary effects.

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the cardiac consequences of right atrioventricular groove compression in PE using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 661 patients with PE referred for evaluation. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the degree of right atrioventricular groove compression (no compression (NC), partial compression (PC), and complete compression(CC)). Chest wall indices were measured: pectus index (PI), depression index (DI), correction index (CI), and sternal torsion.

resultsThe study revealed significant differences in chest wall indices between the groups: PE, NC=4.15 ± 0.94, PC=4.93 ± 1.24, and CC=7.2 ± 4.01 (P<0.0001). Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) showed no significant differences: LVEF, NC=58.72% ± 3.94, PC=58.49% ± 4.02, and CC=57.95% ± 3.92 (P=0.0984). Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) demonstrated significant differences: RVEF, NC=55.2% ± 5.3, PC=53.8% ± 4.4, and CC=53.1% ± 4.8 (P≥0.0001). Notably, the tricuspid valve (TV) measurement on the four-chamber view decreased in patients with greater compression: NC=29.52 ± 4.6; PC=28.26 ± 4.8; and CC=24.74 ± 5.73 (P<0.0001).

conclusionThis study provides valuable insights into the cardiac consequences of right atrioventricular groove compression in PE and lends further evidence of mild cardiac changes due to PE.
