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

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD)-associated cardiomyopathy may be overlooked in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We herein report a case of cardiomyopathy related to BMD in which anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis led to a diagnosis of BMD. The patient experienced anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis during cardiac resynchronization therapy. The patient became inotrope-dependent, and a left ventricular assist device was safely implanted by considering the use of anesthetic agents to avoid rhabdomyolysis. The abnormal immunohistochemical staining pattern of dystrophin protein in the myocardium and dystrophin gene mutation confirmed the diagnosis of BMD. BMD should thus be considered in patients with DCM to prevent perioperative complications including rhabdomyolysis.
