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

Computed tomography (CT)-derived three-dimensional maximum principal strain (MP-strain) can provide incremental value to coronary CT angiography for cardiac dysfunction assessment with high diagnostic performance in patients with myocardial infarction. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is more sensitive than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for detecting early myocardial dysfunction. We aimed to compare CT-derived MP-strain with each of 2D-STE-derived strains (i.e., longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strains), and identify the major determinants of CT-derived MP-strain among 2D-STE-derived strains. We studied 51 patients who underwent cardiac CT and echocardiography. CT images were reconstructed at every 5% (0-95%) of the RR interval. A dedicated workstation was used to analyze CT-derived MP-strain on the 16-segment model. We calculated CT-derived global MP-strain with all the 16 segments on a per patient basis. Pearson's test was used to assess correlations between CT-derived MP-strain and STE-strain at global and segmental levels. The intra-class correlation coefficient for interobserver agreement for CT-derived global MP-strain was 0.98 (95% confidence interval 0.96-0.99). The low-CT-derived global MP-strain group (≤ 0.43) had more patients with LV dysfunction than the high-CT-derived global MP-strain group (> 0.43). CT-derived global MP-strain was associated with STE-GLS (r = 0.738, P < 0.001), global circumferential strain (r = 0.646, P < 0.001), and global radial strain (r = 0.432, P = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, STE-GLS had the strongest association to CT-derived global MP-strain among three directional STE-strains and LVEF by echocardiography (standardized coefficient =  - 0.527, P < 0.001). STE-GLS is a major determinant of CT-derived global MP-strain. CT-derived MP-strain may enhance the value of coronary CT angiography by adding functional information to CT-derived LVEF.
