What Strain Analysis Adds to Diagnosis and Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Heart failure (HF) is a common disease that requires appropriate tools to correctly predict cardiovascular outcomes. Echocardiography represents the most commonly used method for assessing left ventricular ejection fraction and a cornerstone in the detection of HF, but it fails to procure an optimal level of inter-observer variability, leading to unsatisfactory prediction of cardiovascular outcomes. In this review, we discuss emerging clinical tools (global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle, the right ventricle, and the left atrium) that permitted an improvement in the diagnosis and ameliorated the risk stratification across different HF phenotypes. The review analyzes the speckle-tracking contributions to the field, discussing the limitations and advantages in clinical practice.
