Evaluation of Subtle Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction by Longitudinal Systolic Strain in Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Article in Acta Cardiologica Sinica, 2018. 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
backgroundAlthough left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a major cause of morbidity in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, there is limited data on cardiac functions of these patients. Compared to the conventional echocardiography, the global longitudinal strain (GLS) can detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction at an earlier stage.
objectivesIn our study, we aimed to evaluate left ventricular systolic functions using the GLS in HIV-infected patients and to investigate the effect of cluster of differentiation 4 T-cell values on LVSD.
methodsThis prospective, case-control study included a total of 65 HIV-infected patients and 48 healthy volunteers. Conventional and strain echocardiography were performed on all participants. In HIV-infected patients, CD4 T-cell counts and HIV-ribonucleic acid (HIV-RNA) values were measured.
resultsThe median CD4 T-cell count was 529.65 cells/mm
conclusionsOur study results suggest that reduced CD4 T-cell counts in HIV-infected patients may cause myocardial dysfunction and GLS can be useful to show subtle LVSD asymptomatic cases.
