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

To evaluate the association between baseline global longitudinal strain (GLS) and ΔGLS (difference of baseline GLS and follow-up) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response defined either with clinical or with echocardiographic characteristics. This meta-analysis was performed in accordance to both the Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology and Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines. Two independent investigators performed a comprehensive systematic search in MedLine, EMBASE and Cochrane databases through September 2019 without limitations. Data analysis was performed by using the Review Manager software (RevMan), version 5.3, and Stata 13 software. A p value of less than 0.05 (two-tailed) was considered statistically significant. Twelve studies (1004 patients, mean age 63.8 years old, males 69.4%) provided data on the association of baseline GLS with the response to CRT therapy. We found that CRT responders had significantly better resting GLS values compared with non-responders [GLS mean difference -2.13 (-3.03, -1.23), p < 0.001, I
