Aortic Valve Area and Strain Measurements by Cardiac MRI and Transthoracic Echocardiography in Severe Aortic Stenosis with Normal Left Ventricular Function.
Article in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the recommended imaging technique for the evaluation of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). However, in cases with inconclusive findings, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) planimetry is used to grade AS severity. This study aimed to compare the results derived from TTE and CMR in patients with severe AS with normal left ventricular (LV) function. Methods: In a prospective study, 20 patients with severe AS were recruited and data derived from TTE and CMR modalities were compared with the archived records of 28 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The data included aortic valve area (AVA), MRI-derived biventricular global strains, and TTE-derived global longitudinal strain (GLS). SPSS software was used to analyze the data with independent samples Results: An excellent agreement was found in AVA values derived from CMR and TTE with an average ICC of 0.932 (95% CI=0.829-0.973). There was a significant difference in LV-GLS, LV global radial strain (GRS), right ventricular (RV) GRS, and RV global circumferential strain between the groups. A good correlation was found between CMR- and TTE-derived GLS with an average ICC of 0.721 (95% C=0.255-0.896). The mean aortic valve pressure gradient in TTE had a significant inverse linear correlation with LV-GRS in CMR (r=-0.537). All P values were <0.05. Conclusion: There was a good agreement between AVA and strain values derived from cardiac MRI and TTE. The myocardial strain was impaired in patients with severe AS and normal LV function and correlated with disease severity.
