Aging and myocardial strain.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Advanced age is widely recognized as a key risk factor for incident cardiovascular disease. The age-associated changes in cardiac properties alter the substrate on which cardiovascular disease is superimposed in various ways, and thus affect the development and manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the elderly. However, it is still unclear whether age-related cardiac alteration is attributed to aging itself or whether it is secondary to other acquired cardiovascular risk factors. Understanding the association between aging and cardiac functional remodeling might provide insight into the pathogenesis of cardiovascular aging and may help inform possible preventive strategies for CVD in older individuals. Speckle-tracking echocardiography enables the objective and quantitative assessment of subtle myocardial alterations that are undetectable with conventional echocardiography, and has excellent feasibility and reproducibility. Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain, a sensitive measure of LV systolic dysfunction, was found to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. More recently, deformation imaging has been employed to assess right ventricular (RV) and atrial performance, and impaired RV and atrial strain predict unfavorable outcomes in various clinical settings. This article reviews the association between aging and changes in myocardial strain values and describes future perspectives.
