Prognostic value of atrial strain in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Article in La Tunisie medicale. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionLeft atrial function in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has long been underestimated when studying the ultrasound parameters of DCM. Currently, several ultrasound parameters of left atrial function have been proposed as markers to detect patients at risk.
aimTo evaluate the left atriumfunctionwith 2D speckle tracking echocardiography and itsprognostic value in the dilatedcardiomyopathy.
methodsThe study prospectively recruited 40 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, between January and June 2014, followed up at the cardiology department of Habib Thameur Hospital of Tunis. An echocardiogram was performed for all patients at the beginning of the study. After a 6-month follow-up, the primary endpoint was the occurrence of a major cardiovascular event. The patients were divided into a first group without cardiovascular events (group 1) and a second group with a cardiovascular event (group 2).
resultsDuring the follow-up, 25 patients presented a major cardiovascular event (8 ventricular arrhythmias and 17 hospitalizations for acute decompensated heart failure). There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding cardiovascular risk factors, symptoms and blood testing values.In addition, regarding results obtained from speckle tracking echocardiography, atrial peak-systolic longitudinal strain (PALS) and time to peak atrial longitudinal strain (TPALS) values were observed to be significantly lower in group 2 ( 34.6% in group 1 vs 28.4% in group 2, p=0.000; and 344.6ms in group 1 vs 349.8 ms in group 2, p=0.016 respectively).
conclusionThe analysis of the LA speckle tracking in the dilatedcardiomyopathymay help cardiologistto identify patients at high cardiovascular risk and thus improve their management and follow-up.
