The value of left ventricular strain-volume loops in predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Article in Cardiovascular ultrasound, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThree-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking imaging (STI) allows the simultaneous assessment of left ventricular (LV) strain and volume. We aim to explore the value of LV strain-volume loops in predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
methodsForty heart failure (HF) patients scheduled for CRT and twenty healthy individuals were enrolled. All subjects received a 3D echocardiography and 3D STI analysis to acquire LV global and segmental principal strain (PS) and volume simultaneously. Values were plotted in a Cartesian system to construct PS-volume loop which was assessed using the two characteristics of the linear fitting curve: the slope and the coefficient of determination (R
resultsHF patients at baseline showed significantly lower slope and R
conclusionsAnalysis of strain-volume loops could provide unique information for predicting response to CRT. Assessment of septal myocardial wasted work at baseline is helpful to improve patient selection for CRT.
