1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a second-level echocardiographic technique which has gradually gained relevance in the last years. It allows semi-automatic quantification of myocardial deformation and function, overcoming most of the limitations characterizing basic echocardiography and providing an early detection of cardiac impairment. Today, its feasibility and usefulness are highly supported by literature. In particular, several studies demonstrated that STE could provide additional prognostic information beyond conventional echocardiographic and traditional clinical parameters. Moreover, a recent standardization of speckle tracking analysis regarding all cardiac chambers paved the way for the integration of STE in diagnostic and prognostic protocols for particular clinical settings. The aim of this review is to describe the prognostic role of STE in different clinical scenarios basing on currently available evidence.
