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

Heart disease is the leading cause of hospitalization and death worldwide, severely affecting health care costs. Aging is a significant risk factor for heart disease, and the senescent heart is characterized by structural and functional changes including diastolic and systolic dysfunction as well as left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. Speckle tracking-based strain echocardiography (STE) has been shown as a noninvasive, reproducible, and highly sensitive methodology to evaluate LV function in both animal models and humans. Herein, we describe the efficiency of this technique as a comprehensive and sensitive method for the detection of age-related cardiac dysfunction in mice. Compared with conventional echocardiographic measurements, radial and longitudinal strain, and reverse longitudinal strain were able to detect subtle changes in systolic and diastolic cardiac function in mice at an earlier time point during aging. Additionally, the data show a gradual and consistent decrease with age in regional contractility throughout the entire LV, in both radial and longitudinal axes. Furthermore, we observed that LV segmental dyssynchrony in longitudinal axis reliably differentiated between aged and young mice. Therefore, we propose the use of echocardiographic strain as a highly sensitive and accurate technology enabling and evaluating the effect of new treatments to fight age-induced cardiac disease.
