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

Systolic function of the left ventricle is vital for patients with aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, the most widely used clinical parameter, the left ventricular ejection fraction, is not sensitive enough, especially for patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Echocardiographic strain/strain rate and twist are emerging parameters for left ventricular systolic and diastolic function evaluation. Aortic stenosis could reduce strain/strain rate while magnifying twist. Furthermore, strain/strain rate correlates well with the prognosis of patients with aortic stenosis. Most importantly the circumferential strain, strain rate and twist also play a role in differentiating cardiac compensation or decompensation. In any case, these parameters could normalize after successful surgical aortic valve replacement or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Regardless of these advantages, clinical evidence is needed to ensure their usefulness.
