Standard and feature tracking magnetic resonance evidence of myocardial involvement in Churg-Strauss syndrome and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) in patients with normal electrocardiograms and transthoracic echocardiography.

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.
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 study was to evaluate the presence and spectrum of cardiac abnormalities identified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in subjects in clinical remission of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (WG) with normal ECG and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Eleven (7 females, 4 males, mean age 42.4 ± 9.6 years) CSS and 10 (4 females, 6 males, mean age 45.3 ± 10.9 years) WG patients in clinical remission with normal ECG and TTE underwent CMR. Segmental peak-systolic myocardial strain (εps) was measured using feature tracking cine-sequence based technique. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, end-diastolic volume and myocardial mass indexes were 66.2 ± 5.8 %, 66.1 ± 6.6 ml/m(2), and 61.0 ± 8.9 g/m(2), respectively. No patient showed regional wall motion abnormalities and signs of myocarditis. Nine CSS and 8 WG patients demonstrated decreased segmental longitudinal, circumferential or radial εps and myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) (6 subendocardial, 10 midwall, 8 subepicardial) areas. In CSS and WG subjects with LVLGE lesions the mean LVLGE extent was 2.0 ± 1.6 % and 2.3 ± 1.5 % (p = 0.65), respectively. Segmental εps was decreased longitudinally (-11.8 ± 5.6 %) for subendocardial LGE, radially (13.7 ± 8.7 %) for subepicardial LGE, and circumferentially (-16.6 ± 4.2 %), longitudinally (-13.2 ± 5.5 %) and radially (18.8 ± 8.1 %) for midwall LGE, if compared to longitudinal (-22.7 ± 5.1 %), circumferential (-23.6 ± 5.6 %) and radial (34.2 ± 15.7 %) εps in controls (11 females, 10 males, mean age 43.9 ± 10.5 years) (all p < 0.01). Despite clinical remission, normal ECG and TTE, most CSS and WG patients demonstrate decreased segmental εps and non-ischemic LGE lesions without signs of myocarditis.
