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: Cardiomyopathy, characterized by heart stiffness, can lead to heart failure. This study aimed to investigate aortic stiffness in children with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to better understand its contribution to disease severity. Methods: This case-control study compared 48 children with DCM with 96 healthy children over a 10-year period starting in 2011. Aortic strain, aortic stiffness index, aortic distensibility, and pressure strain elastic modulus were measured. These parameters, along with several echocardiographic measures, were compared between the DCM and control groups. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 18, with a significance threshold set at a P value below 0.05. Results: The participants included 57.6% boys, with 58.3% in the DCM group and 57.35% in the control group (χ Conclusion: Children with DCM exhibited reduced aortic strain and aortic distensibility, as well as elevated aortic stiffness β index and pressure strain elastic modulus.
