Speckle tracking imaging in inflammatory heart diseases.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2018. 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
Accurate diagnosis of acute myocarditis is important for the prognosis and risk stratification of these patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a major modality for diagnosis of myocarditis, but not widely available. In this study, we tried to evaluate regional and global longitudinal strain by speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with acute inflammatory myocardial diseases in correlation with CMR. Patients with suspected acute myocarditis were recruited prospectively. Clinical diagnosis was established based on clinical, electrocardiographic, laboratory and conventional echocardiographic data. All patients underwent CMR and repeat echocardiographic examination within 24 h of CMR. Echocardiographic examinations were analyzed offline with speckle tracking imaging software. Thirty-two patients with acute perimyocarditis and myopericarditis were included. Mean age was 29 ± 8, 30 males. All patients presented with chest pain and an abnormal electrocardiogram, in 28 ST elevation was found. Troponin was elevated in 30 and was 0.7 ± 0.5 ng/ml. Creatine kinase was 487 ± 319 U. LVEF was 56 ± 5%. Wall motion abnormalities were present in postero-lateral (53%), and inferior wall (21%). Delayed enhancement on CMR was found in 29 patients. Echocardiographic EF based on speckle tracking imaging correlated with CMR calculated EF. There was a positive correlation between the amplitude of regional strain and delayed enhancement, r = 0.52. Sensitivity and specificity of regional strain for prediction of delayed enhancement was 85 and 73% respectively. Speckle tracking imaging can help in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis when CMR is not readily available. Speckle tracking imaging based EF correlates with CMR calculated LVEF and with global strain.
