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 our study was to evaluate myocardial functions with strain/strain rate echocardiography in asymptomatic patients having congenital aortic stenosis (CAS) with normal cardiac functions as determined by conventional echocardiographic techniques and comparing them with those of healthy controls. A total of 58 patients with various degrees of isolated CAS and 52 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Conventional and two-dimensional speckle tracking (2DSTE) echocardiography were performed. Global longitudinal strain (LS) (-23.1 ± 3.6 and -23.8 ± 4.7), and longitudinal strain rate (LSR) (-1.49 ± 0.32 and -1.76 ± 0.39) values were lower, whereas circumferential strain (CS) (-25.9 ± 4.7 and -22.8 ± 6.4) and circumferential strain rate (CSR) (-1.82 ± 0.46 and -1.69 ± 0.49) values were greater in the patient group than in the control subjects. The difference was significant for global LSR and CS (p < 0.05) values. Regional analysis showed lower LS values in the basal part of the left-ventricular (LV) free wall and lower LSR values in the basal parts of both of the septum and free wall in the patient group (p < 0.05). CS values in the anteroseptal, posterior, and inferior walls were significantly greater in the patients (p < 0.05). 2DSTE detects subtle alterations in myocardial function in asymptomatic children with CAS. Impairment of LV long-axis function occurred earlier and was more prominent in basal parts of the interventricular septum and the free wall of the left ventricle.
