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: Cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVDRF) are linked to increased morbidity in cardiomyopathies (CMP), but whether new onset CVDRF differ among CMPs is unknown. In addition, whether the acute exercise response during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) differs among CMPs remains unclear. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study analyzed patients with arrhythmogenic, hypertrophic, and dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathy without CVDRF at baseline. Resting echocardiography and CPET were performed, and exercise response was assessed depending on sex and CMP. After a median follow-up of 19.5 months, CPET and echocardiography were analyzed in relation to the development of new CVDRF. Results: A total of 104 CMPs were included (median age 53.0 years). New-onset CVDRF was rare (11.5 %) and driven by arterial hypertension (8.7 %) but did not differ among CMPs. DCM displayed significantly lower resting left ventricular ejection fraction (40.5 %, interquartile range, IQR, 11.5 %, p < 0.001), diastolic function (E/e' 9.3, IQR 5.5, p < 0.001), and had the lowest peak systolic blood pressure (170.0 mmHg, IQR 52.5 mmHg, p = 0.011), predicted peak oxygen consumption (82.0 %, IQR 39.8 %, p = 0.003), oxygen pulse (101.0 %, IQR 28.8 %, p = 0.030) as well as lower ventilatory (VP, 5.5 mmHg, IQR 1.4 mmHg, p = 0.033) and circulatory (CP, 4096.0 mL/kg/min x mmHg, IQR 2299.3 mL/kg/min x mmHg, p = 0.015) power compared to the other groups. Lower VP (5.0 mmHg, IQR 1.3 mmHg, p = 0.003) and CP (3660.0 mL/kg/min x mmHg, IQR 3298.0 mL/kg/min x mmHg, p = 0.004) were observed for females. Conclusions: Arterial hypertension was the most common CVDRF among CMPs, underscoring the importance of monitoring this outcome. Exercise limitations differ between CMPs and should be interpreted depending on sex.
