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

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of the left ventricle (LV) remodeling in the process of the transition from the compensation to the decompensation phase of cardiorenal syndrome. Ren-2 transgenic rats (TGR) with aorto-caval fistula (ACF) were used as the model of cardiorenal syndrome. Two weeks after ACF creation or sham operation, heart morphological parameters, cardiac structure and function were assessed by echocardiography and invasive pressure-volume analysis. This time point was chosen because two weeks after ACF the TGR still exhibit 100% survival rate and are in the transition phase from the compensation to the decompensation of cardiorenal syndrome. Our results at this stage show: (i) ACF TGR have already fully developed eccentric LV hypertrophy as compared with sham-operated TGR which exhibited signs of LV concentric hypertrophy; (ii) the increase in whole heart weight in ACF TGR was dominantly mediated by right ventricle (RV) hypertrophy, whereas the increase in the LV mass was minimal; (iii) ACF TGR displayed, besides bilateral ventricular dilatation, significant impairment of LV systolic functions whereas RV systolic functions were not impaired as compared with sham-operated TGR. Based on our present results, we propose that the inability of the LV to develop an appropriate hypertrophic response leads to maladaptive ventricular remodeling, which is likely a crucial factor in the process of the transition from the compensation to the decompensation phase of cardiorenal syndrome.
