Evaluation of comprehensive myocardial contractility in children with Kawasaki disease by cardiac magnetic resonance in a large single center.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundChildren with Kawasaki disease (KD) and coronary artery lesions (CALs) can develop myocardial ischemia, fibrosis, and abnormal contractility. We aimed to assess the association between myocardial mechanical deformation with myocardial fibrosis, ischemia, and CALs.
methodsIn total, 76 KD and 20 healthy volunteers received cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Peak systolic left ventricular (LV) longitudinal, radial, and circumferential strain and strain rate [LV strain longitudinal (LVSL), LV strain radial (LVSR), LV strain circumferential (LVSC), LV strain rate longitudinal (LVSRL), LV strain rate radial (LVSRR), and LV strain rate circumferential (LVSRC)], along with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), perfusion deficit, and CALs in related segments were analyzed. The KD group was subdivided by CALs, perfusion, and LGE results, and strain results were compared with controls and in subgroups.
resultsCardiac fibrosis and ischemia were not confined to the territory of CALs. In a global analysis, strain and strain rates were lower in the KD group, especially in the subgroup with LGE and perfusion deficit. In segmental analysis, LVSR, LVSC, LVSL, and LVSRR decreased in the giant aneurysm group, and a lower LVSR (20.369%±10.603%
conclusionsWe detected lower strain values in KD patients, which was more pronounced in segments with aneurysm, thrombi, LGE, and perfusion deficit. LVSR is useful to discern patients with higher risk.
