Prognostic value of ventricular longitudinal strain in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Introduction: Strain obtained by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) can detect subclinical myocardial impairment due to myocardial fibrosis (MF) and is considered a prognostic marker. Aortic stenosis (AS) is not only a valve disease, but also a cardiomyopathy characterized by MF. The purpose of this study was to systematically review and analyze ventricular strain as a predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with AS undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched for studies that investigated the prognostic value of impaired ventricular strain on patients with AS undergoing TAVR with all-cause mortality (ACM) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Pooled odds ratios (ORs), hazard ratios (HRs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the role of left (LVLS) and right (RVLS) ventricular longitudinal strain in the prognostic prediction of patients with AS undergoing TAVR. Sensitivity and subgroup analysis was performed to assess heterogeneity. Results: Twelve studies were retrieved from 571 citations for analysis. In total, 1,489 patients with a mean age of 82 years and follow-up periods varying between 1 year and 8.5 years were included. Meta-analysis showed the impaired LVLS from eight studies was associated with an increased risk for combined ACM and MACE (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1-1.16; Conclusions: This meta-analysis demonstrated that ventricular strain, including LVLS and RVLS, had a substantial prognostic value in ACM or combined ACM and MACE, which could be used as a valid marker for risk stratification in patients with AS undergoing TAVR.
