The usefulness of global longitudinal peak strain and left atrial volume index in predicting atrial fibrillation in patients with ischemic stroke.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) is crucial for preventing recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. We aimed to examine whether the left atrial volume index (LAVI) and global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) are associated with AF in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: We prospectively analyzed 678 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke. LAVI and GLPS were assessed using three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography with speckle-tracking imaging. Multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of AF with LAVI and GLPS. To evaluate the predictive value of LAVI and GLPS for the presence of AF, we used optimism-corrected c-statistics calculated by 100 bootstrap repetitions and the net reclassification improvement (NRI). Results: The mean patient age was 68 ± 13 years (men, 60%). Patients with AF (18%) were a higher LAVI (41.7 ml/m Discussion: The LAVI andGLPS with speckle-tracking imaging echocardiography may help identify patients with AF.
