Early prediction of ventricular functional recovery after myocardial infarction by longitudinal strain study.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThere are some suggestions that global myocardial strain (GLS) early after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a predictor of improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The goal of this study was to evaluate LV recovery after STEMI intervention based on GLS values.
methodsThe study population consists of 43 patients with acute STEMI and no history of prior coronary intervention treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. LVEF and myocardial strain indices were measured 48 hours and two months after STEMI by transthoracic echocardiography and speckle tracking method. More than 5% improvement in LVEF was considered significant.
resultsGLS values were significantly higher in patients with >5% improvement in LVEF 2 months after the STEMI (GLS=15.76% in patients with >5% improvement vs. 11.54% in the other group, P<0.05). ROC analysis suggested GLS values more than 13.5 to be a predictor of significant LVEF improvement 2 months after STEMI. Higher GLS was observed in patients with inferior, posterior and inferoseptal STEMI versus anterior, extensive or anteroseptal STEMI and in patients with right coronary occlusion versus occlusion of the left anterior descending or circumflex arteries.
conclusionWe have observed that early longitudinal LV strain after STEMI is a predictor of recovery after STEMI. This is a useful method to predict early LV recovery after STEMI. GLS values of more than 13.5% are a significant predictor of significant LVEF improvement.
