Favorable changes of left ventricular function in the circumferential direction following transcatheter atrial septal defect closure: a strain imaging 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
To clarify the impact on left ventricular (LV) function of percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in adult patients. Echocardiograms of 46 patients (52 ± 18 years) who underwent ASD closure with a significant left-to-right shunt obtained before and 1 month after the procedure were retrospectively analyzed. Functional parameters were obtained by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging. Global longitudinal strain and strain rate at early diastole (SRe) was calculated from the three standard apical views, while circumferential and radial parameters were calculated from basal, middle, and apical LV short-axis views. Along with a diminished right ventricular (RV) volume, the LV volume and ejection fraction increased (end-diastolic volume: 61 ± 12 to 76 ± 15 mL, p < 0.001; and 63% ± 4 to 64% ± 4% p = 0.03; respectively). Both global strain and SRe was augmented only in the circumferential direction (- 16.2% ± 2.9% to - 19.8% ± 2.8%; and 1.07 ± 0.29 to 1.34 ± 0.28 s
