Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking of the right ventricle in convalescent Kawasaki disease in a large single center.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe changes in right ventricular (RV) contractility of Kawasaki disease (KD) still remain unclear. HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to determine whether RV systolic dysfunction can be detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking and to find its association with coronary artery lesions (aneurysm, thrombosis and stenosis).
methodsPeak systolic myocardial longitudinal, radial and circumferential strain and the strain rate (RVSL, RVSR, RVSC, RVSRL, RVSRR and RVSRC) in the global RV and three levels (basal, middle and apical) were measured in 66 patients with convalescent KD. A total of 20 controls were included. Comparisons were made with controls and among KD subgroups divided with coronary artery lesions.
resultsRVSC (-10.575% vs. -10.760%), RVSL (-18.150% vs. -18.712%) and RVSRC (-0.815/s vs. -0.924/s) were slightly lower in KD group without significant difference. All the strain and strain rate presented lowest in the basal level. In subgroup comparison, lower RVSL and RVSRL were observed in the giant coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) group; RVSR (15.844% vs. 16.897%), RVSRR (1.245/s vs. 1.322/s) and RVSRC (-0.715/s vs. -0.895/s) were lower in thrombosed group; RVSRL (-1.27/s vs. -1.503/s) were lower in stenosis group. All the comparison in subgroups did not reach significant difference. From the analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve, RVSRL had a better ability to identify KD with giant CAA and stenosis. For the identification of thrombosis, RVSRC had a better ability.
conclusionsLower strain and strain rates of RV were detected in convalescent KD. More pronounced in those with persisting coronary artery lesions.
