Global longitudinal strain, ejection fraction, effort tolerance and normal echocardiography measurements in healthy Indians.
Article in Indian heart journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
introductionNormative comprehensive echocardiographic measurements data for healthy Indians are not available while data for American and European population is available from American Society of echocardiography and European Society of Cardiology/European Association of Cardio-Vascular Imaging and their publications. Available studies of Indian subjects are small and report only limited measurements with focus on left ventricular (LV) volumes.
objectiveWe aim to provide comprehensive normative echocardiographic data for healthy Indians from a large sample size.
methodsA retrospective cross-sectional single-center study of 707 healthy Indian adults age and sex segregated which presented detailed and comprehensive echocardiographic measurements including two-dimensional, M-mode, tissue Doppler imaging, speckle tracking echocardiography, chamber volumes, LV ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), segmental longitudinal strain and effort tolerance.
resultsOur findings show healthy Indians, as compared to US and European population, to have higher relative wall thickness. LV volumes, LV mass, LVEF and effort tolerance that were within American Society of Echocardiography described ranges for chamber quantification. Higher GLS values were observed in Indian population compared to European and American population. Women had higher LVEF and GLS values as compared to men and both showed a gradual decline with aging.
conclusionWe present normal reference values for echocardiographic measurements in healthy Indian population, which could be used for future reference and comparison work.
