Early Detection of Bi-ventricular and Atrial Mechanical Dysfunction Using Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Patients with Sarcoidosis.
Article in Lung, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
purposeSarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease with unknown etiology involving several organs. Myocardial involvement, pericarditis, severe rhythm abnormalities, and heart valve disease due to papillary muscle dysfunction are some of the cardiac manifestations. Conventional echocardiographic methods remain insufficient for the determination of subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with sarcoidosis. In our study, we investigated the impact of sarcoidosis on bi-ventricular and atrial functions using two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).
methodsForty patients with sarcoidosis and 20 age and sex-matched controls were recruited into study. All subjects underwent a transthoracic echocardiography for the evaluation of ventricular and atrial functions with 2D STE.
resultsLeft ventricular (LV) dimensions, LV ejection fraction, and right ventricular (RV) systolic velocity were similar between the two groups. Left atrial (LA) diameter was significantly higher in sarcoidosis patients than controls. Eighteen (45%) patients in the sarcoidosis group and 1 (5%) patient in the control group had LV diastolic dysfunction. LV global longitudinal, radial, circumferential strain, twist, untwists, and RV global longitudinal strain values were significantly lower in sarcoidosis patients compared to controls. LA and RA reservoir functions were also significantly lower in sarcoidosis patients than controls.
conclusionAlthough impaired LV diastolic function was detected using conventional parameters, only novel advanced echocardiographic modalities demonstrated impaired bi-ventricular and atrial mechanical functions in patients with sarcoidosis.
