Incremental Value of Speckle Tracking Echocardiography to Predict Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Responders.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSpeckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is reported as a useful method to predict cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) responders. This study aimed to identify the incremental value of a STE parameter to predict CRT responders. METHODS AND
resultsWe enrolled 171 patients from the Speckle Tracking imaging for the Assessment of cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (START) study. CRT responders were defined as patients with ≥15% reduction of left ventricular (LV) end-systolic volume at 6 months post-CRT. Based on multivariable logistic regression analysis, incremental values of STE were assessed by c-statistics, net reclassification improvement (NRI)/integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and decision curve analysis. Six parameters (left bundle branch block or right ventricular pacing, use of beta-blocker, blood urea nitrogen ≤3.0 mg/dL, LV end-systolic diameter ≤50 mm, mitral regurgitation index ≤40%, and STE parameter standard deviation of time from QRS onset to first peak on the circumferential strain curves [T
conclusionsBased on various statistical methods, this study revealed that STE had an incremental value to predict CRT responders.
