Myocardial Strain Assessment by 2D Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography in Patients with Congenital Myopathy.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Congenital myopathies (CMs) are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Cardiac involvement can be seen in these patients. We aimed to evaluate the myocardial strain parameters by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with CM. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four patients with CM whose diagnosis was confirmed by genetic analysis or muscle biopsy were included in the study, and 48 patients were involved as a control group. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) was calculated by biplane Simpson method, and myocardial strain analysis was performed by 2D STE. Results: The median age of the study population was 26 (19-35 interquartile range [IQR]) and 43 (60%) were women. In the analysis performed after the exclusion of two patients with multiminicore disease (MMD) who developed heart failure, although mild, LVEF% (62 [60-65 IQR] vs. 64 [63-66 IQR], Conclusion: Although LVEF% and RVGLS were significantly lower in the CM group, LVGLS was similar. The decrease in RVGLS and LVEF% was mild, and heart failure was not observed in any patient except MMD patients who were not included in the analysis.
