Left ventricular rotational abnormalities following successful kidney transplantation-insights from the three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiographic MAGYAR-Path Study.

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
backgroundKidney transplantation (KTx) is the preferred treatment for virtually all suitable candidates with end-stage renal disease. There is limited information on left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics post-KTx, therefore the present study aimed to assess it and to compare it to that of age- and gender-matched healthy controls.
methodsThe present study comprised 42 KTx patients, from which 4 patients were excluded due to insufficient image quality (mean age: 46.3±8.2 years, 29 males). Control group consisted of 81 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals (mean age: 43.5±10.8 years, 51 males). All KTx patients and healthy controls successfully underwent transthoracic two-dimensional (2D) Doppler echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE).
resultsSignificant differences could be demonstrated in LA diameter, LV end-diastolic diameter and volume, interventricular septum, LV posterior wall thickness, LV ejection fraction and early and late filling transmitral flow velocities and in their ratio between KTx patients and controls; none of the subjects examined showed grade 2-4 mitral and/or tricuspid regurgitations. Three patients following successful KTx showed near absence of LV twist called as LV 'rigid body rotation' (RBR) movement. When the remaining 35 post-KTx patients were analysed separately, reduced basal LV rotation could be demonstrated in post-KTx patients with tendentious increase in apical LV rotation resulting in an unchanged LV twist.
conclusionsKTx is associated with alterations in LV rotational mechanics with unchanged LV twist suggesting a remodelling of this sort of movement. The near absence of LV twist (LV-RBR) could be demonstrated in some post-KTx cases.
