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
objectivesMyocardial strain is reported to be a sensitive indicator of myocardial mechanical changes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The changes in the mechanics of the myocardium of normal wall thickness (< 12 mm) have yet to be well studied. This study aimed to evaluate the function of myocardial segments of normal thickness in patients with HCM.
methodsSixty-three patients with HCM and 30 controls were retrospectively enrolled in this retrospective study. Cine imaging, native and post-contrast T1 maps, T2 maps, and late gadolinium enhancement were performed. In addition, regional myocardial strain was assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance-tissue tracking. Strain parameters were compared between the controls and HCM patients with segments of the myocardium of normal thickness. Subgroup analysis was conducted in obstructive and non-obstructive HCM. Lastly, p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsIn normal-thickness myocardial segments of HCM (n = 716), diastolic peak strain rates (PSRs) were significantly lower than in the control group (n = 480) (radial, - 2.43 [- 3.36, - 1.78] vs. - 2.67 [- 3.58, - 1.96], p = 0.002; circumferential, 1.28 [1.01,1.60] vs. 1.39 [1.14, 1.78], p < 0.001; and longitudinal, 1.16 [0.75,1.51] vs. 1.28 [0.90, 1.71], p < 0.001). The normal-thickness segments showed no significant difference in systolic PSRs between HCM and the controls. In the subgroup analysis, significantly decreased diastolic PSRs were noted in both obstructive and non-obstructive HCM, compared with the controls (p < 0.05).
conclusionsDiastolic changes in myocardial mechanics were observed in normal-thickness segments of HCM, occurring before morphological remodeling and systolic dysfunction developed. This finding contributed to a better understanding of the mechanical pathophysiology of HCM with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. It may potentially aid in predicting disease progression and risk stratification.
