Reduced Circumferential Strain in Athletes with Prior COVID-19.

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
Purpose: To characterize global and segmental circumferential systolic strain (CS) measured by cardiac MRI in athletes after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included 188 soldiers and collegiate athletes referred for cardiac MRI after SARS-CoV-2 infection (C19+) between July 2020 and February 2021 and a control group of 72 soldiers, collegiate, and high school athletes who underwent cardiac MRI from May 2019 to February 2020, prior to the first SARS-CoV-2 case detected in our region (C19-). Global and segmental CS were measured by feature tracking, then compared between each group using unadjusted and multivariable- adjusted models. Acute myocarditis was diagnosed according to the modified Lake Louise criteria and the location of pathologic late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was ascertained. Results: Among the 188 C19+ athletes (median age, 25 years [IQR, 23-30]; 131 men), the majority had mild illness. Global CS significantly differed between C19+ and C19- groups, with a median of -24.0 (IQR -25.8, -21.4) versus. -25.0 (-28.0, -22.4), respectively (p = .009). This difference in CS persisted following adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure β coefficient 1.29 [95% CI: 0.20, 2.38], p = .02). In segmental analysis, the basal- and mid- inferoseptal, septal and inferolateral segments were significantly different (p < .05), which had a higher frequency of post-COVID late gadolinium enhancement. The global and segmental differences were similar after exclusion of athletes with myocarditis. Conclusion: Among athletes, SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a small but statistically significant reduced CS.
