Impaired Speckle-Tracking-Derived Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain Is Associated with Transposition of Great Arteries in Neonates: A Single-Center Study.

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
The transposition of great arteries (TGA) is one of the most frequent and severe congenital heart diseases. After newborn stabilization and while pending surgical correction, echocardiographic monitoring with a careful evaluation of left ventricle (LV) performance is warranted. In this study, our objectives were (i) to compare myocardial function, assessed via speckle-tracking echocardiography, between neonates with TGA and neonates without TGA and (ii) to identify a strain parameter with a good discriminatory ability for TGA. We conducted a retrospective, single-center study. A total of 90 neonates were examined, of whom 66 were included (16 comprised the TGA group and 50 comprised the control group). The results of a bivariate analysis showed that classic echocardiography parameters displayed no significant differences between the two studied groups (
