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

objectiveSpeckle tracking echocardiography (STE) enables global and regional evaluation of the left ventricle (LV); therefore, it is the most useful method for detecting subclinical dysfunction in patients exposed to cardiotoxic agents. A novel technique triplane (3P) echocardiography also allows single beat assessment of LV global longitudinal strain values. We firstly aimed to demonstrate both two-dimensional (2D)- and 3PSTE-derived LV global longitudinal strain measurements in children after anthracycline exposure.

methodsThis study included 23 cross-sectionally enrolled asymptomatic pediatric cancer patients who received anthracycline chemotherapy and 17 healthy controls matched by age, gender, and body surface area. All subjects underwent detailed 2D, Doppler, 2D-STE, and 3P-STE for assessment of LV function. The patients had received a median cumulative dose of 150 mg/m

results1. From "Pulsed" Doppler-based measurements, only pulmonary vein flow ratio showed a significant difference between the groups. 2. When measurements were taken from the interventricular septum, the patients' ejection time values decreased significantly and their myocardial performance index values increased significantly; when the measurements were taken from the LV free wall, the peak systolic velocities showed a statistically significant difference. 3. Both 2D- and 3P-STE-derived longitudinal myocardial deformation values of LV were lower in the patient group. 4. 2D-STE-derived LV circumferential strain values were decreased in the patient group, whereas radial strain values were not significantly different compared with matched controls.

conclusionUsing Doppler and 2D- and 3P-STE methods, this study confirmed the subclinical LV dysfunction in patients after anthracycline exposure.
