Biventricular strain and strain rate impairment shortly after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot in children: A case-control study.
Article in Health science reports, 2022. 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
Background: Early biventricular dysfunction in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) children may lead to poor clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess biventricular function in TOF children before and after surgery by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and compare them with the controls. Methods: Twenty repaired TOF children and 20 normal children as controls were assessed by STE. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), biventricular strain, and strain rate were compared before and after surgery and between TOF children and controls. Results: Postoperative LVEF ( Conclusion: Despite normal LVEF, TOF children exhibit impaired left ventricular strain and strain rate after surgery. TAPSE, strain, and strain rate for the right ventricle worsen after surgical repair. STE-driven strain can be used to detect early ventricular dysfunction and the associated prognostic implications.
