Speckle tracking echocardiography: clinical applications in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Review in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a proven therapy for selected patients with heart failure, it has been shown to improve symptoms and left ventricular (LV) function and prolong survival. Despite proven benefit of CRT, a significant proportion of patients fail to respond to CRT. Multiple factors contribute to the non-response such as patient selection and device implantation including LV lead placement. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) derived strain imaging offers detailed characterization of LV function and provides indices of mechanical dyssynchrony, in addition, STE systolic strain could be used to identify area of scar, therefore applications of STE-derived strain imaging in CRT warrant a closer inspection. This review considers and summarizes different indices of mechanical dyssynchrony generated by STE-derived strain imaging and their relevance in patient selection for CRT and their prognostic values in predicting response to CRT. This review further examines applications of STE-derived strain imaging in optimizing LV lead position by detecting site of latest mechanical activation and presence or absence of transmural scar in a particular segment.
