Decreased left atrial global longitudinal strain predicts the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after cryoablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

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
purposeWe aimed to investigate the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence with left atrial (LA) strain in nonvalvular paroxysmal AF patients after cryoablation.
methodsWe included 190 patients who underwent successful cryoablation due to paroxysmal AF. In addition to classical echocardiographic data, LA apical 2-chamber (A2C) strain, LA apical 4-chamber (A4C) strain, and LA global longitudinal strain (LA-GLS) values were calculated by speckle tracking echocardiography. Forty-eight-hour Holter monitoring was performed to all patients no later than 6 months after ablation.
resultsAF recurrence was detected in 42 patients (22.1%). End-systolic diameter, LA end-systolic diameter, LA-volume, LA-volume index, interatrial septum thickness, coronary sinus diameter, epicardial fat thickness (EFT), and septal E/E` ratio were significantly higher, LV-EF, IVRT, septal S and A` wave, lateral S wave, LA-A2C strain, LA-A4C strain, and LA-GLS were significantly lower in patients with AF recurrence. LA-GLS, LA-volume index, and EFT were found to be independent parameters for predicting AF recurrence.
conclusionsLA-GLS and LAVI should be included in routine evaluations to determine long-term AF recurrence preoperatively.
