The roles of global longitudinal strain imaging in contemporary clinical cardiology.
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 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Myocardial deformation imaging is now readily available during routine echocardiography and plays an important role in the advanced care of cardiovascular diseases. Its clinical value in detecting subtle myocardial dysfunction, by helping diagnose disease and allowing prediction of disease progression and earlier pharmacological intervention, has been demonstrated. Strain imaging has been the most studied and clinically used technique in the field of cardio-oncology. A relative percent reduction in left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain > 15% from baseline is considered a marker of early subclinical LV dysfunction and may have the potential to guide early initiation of cardioprotective therapy. The role of strain imaging is expanding to other fields, such as cardiac amyloidosis, other cardiomyopathies, valvular heart diseases, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. It is also used for the evaluation of the right ventricle and atria. This review aims to provide a current understanding of the roles of strain imaging in the evaluation and management of patients with cardiovascular diseases in clinical practice.
