Age- and sex-specific reference values of biventricular strain and strain rate derived from a large cohort of healthy Chinese adults: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking study.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundAs a noninvasive tool, myocardial deformation imaging may facilitate the early detection of cardiac dysfunction. However, normal reference ranges of myocardial strain and strain rate (SR) based on large-scale East Asian populations are still lacking. This study aimed to provide reference values of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) strain and SR based on a large cohort of healthy Chinese adults using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT).
methodsFive hundred and sixty-six healthy Chinese adults (55.1% men) free of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity were included. On cine CMR, biventricular global radial, circumferential, and longitudinal strain (GRS, GCS, and GLS), and the peak radial, circumferential, and longitudinal systolic, and diastolic SRs (PSSRR, PSSRC, PSSRL, PDSRR, PDSRC, and PDSRL), and regional radial and circumferential strain at the basal, mid-cavity, and apical levels were measured. Associations of global and regional biventricular deformation indices with age and sex were investigated.
resultsWomen demonstrated greater magnitudes of LV GRS (37.6 ± 6.1% vs. 32.1 ± 5.3%), GCS (- 20.7 ± 1.9% vs. - 18.8 ± 1.9%), GLS (- 17.8 ± 1.8% vs. - 15.6 ± 1.8%), RV GRS (25.1 ± 7.8% vs. 22.1 ± 6.7%), GCS (- 14.4 ± 3.6% vs. - 13.2 ± 3.2%), GLS (- 22.4 ± 5.2% vs. - 20.2 ± 4.6%), and biventricular peak systolic and diastolic SR in all three coordinate directions (all P < 0.05). For the LV, aging was associated with increasing amplitudes of GRS, GCS, and decreasing amplitudes of PDSRR, PDSRC, PDSRL (all P < 0.05). For the RV, aging was associated with an increase in the magnitudes of GRS, GCS, GLS, PSSRR, PSSRC, PSSRL, and a decrease in the magnitude of PDSRR, PDSRC (all P < 0.05). Biventricular radial and circumferential strain measurements at the basal, mid-cavity, and apical levels were all significantly related to age and sex in both sexes (all P < 0.05).
conclusionsWe provide age- and sex-specific normal values of biventricular strain and SR based on a large sample of healthy Chinese adults with a broad age range. These results may be served as a reference standard for cardiac function assessment, especially for the Chinese population.
