Left ventricular myocardial deformation: a study on diastolic function in the Chinese male population and its relationship with fat distribution.

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
backgroundObesity has become an epidemic in China with its increased prevalence, especially in the male population. Disparities in fat distribution rather than increasing body mass index (BMI) confer the risk of different diseases, including cardiac abnormalities. Therefore, early detection of cardiac abnormalities is important for treatment to reverse the progression to heart failure. Nowadays, strain analysis based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been established to assess myocardial function in diverse cardiac diseases. We aimed to assess the relationship between fat distribution and subclinical diastolic dysfunction in obese Chinese men assessed by deformation registration algorithm (DRA)-based myocardial strain rate (SR) analysis.
methodsA total of 115 male participants with different BMI underwent CMR scanning using a 1.5T MAGNETOM Aera (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) and computed tomography (CT) scan. All the participants were enrolled from September 2017 to April 2018. They were classified into 3 groups according to their BMIs with 23 and 27.5 kg/m
resultsPeak late diastolic SRs were higher in obese men compared with their lean counterparts [-36.25±10.46
conclusionsDecreased LV diastolic function assessed by DRA-based SR analysis in obesity is associated with fat distribution. Furthermore, EAT and VAT might be better predictors of a decrease of diastolic function in obese Chinese men than BMI.
