Usefulness of automatic assessment for longitudinal strain to diagnose wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Left ventricular (LV) apical sparing by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has not been widely accepted to diagnose transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), because it is time consuming and requires a level of expertise. We hypothesized that automatic assessment may be the solution for these problems. Methods-and-Results: We enrolled 63 patients aged ≥70 years who underwent Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the diagnostic accuracy of RapLSI estimated by semi-automatic assessment and that estimated by manual assessment. Semi-automatically assessed RapLSI is useful to diagnose ATTR-CM in terms of rapidity and diagnostic accuracy.
