1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to comprehensively compare the left and right atrium strain and strain rate (SR) parameters by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) between patients with Takotsubo (TS) and patients with acute myocarditis (AM). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively enrolled 3 groups of patients: TS (n=18), AM (n=14), and 11 healthy subjects. All the patients had complete CMR data for features tracking assessment.Differences in reservoir, conduit strain (εe), conduit strain rate (SRe), and booster phase of biatrial strain were analyzed between the groups using analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of covariance analyses. Intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility was assessed for all strain and SR parameters using intraclass correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman analysis.

resultsAtrial strain was feasible in all patients and controls. In TS, left atrium (LA) reservoir strain (εs), reservoir SR, εe, and SRe were significantly lower compared with the other groups (P=0,001 for all). multivariate analysis of covariance analysis showed association of these parameters after correction for age and sex, while LA booster deformation (εa and SRa) strain parameters were preserved. LA SRe proved to have excellent sensitivity in differentiating patients with TS from those with AM (areas under the curves of 0.903, 95% confidence interval: 0.81-0.99).Biatrial strain and SR parameters showed good (excellent) intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility (ranged between 0.61 to 0.96 and 0.50 to 0.90, respectively).

conclusionCompared with AM, patients with TS showed significantly decreased LA reservoir, conduit strain, and SR parameters. Therefore, LA strain assessment may have a role in discriminating between TS and AM.
