Evaluation of the Left Ventricular Myocardium Using Layer-Specific Strain Analysis in Adolescent Athletes Performing High-Intensity Interval Training.

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
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been demonstrated to be an efficient way of improving physical performance in adolescent athletes compared to conventional training modalities. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of HIIT on the myocardial function of adolescent athletes, specifically focusing on left ventricular (LV) function, using conventional echocardiography and layer-specific strain (LSS) analysis. A total of 19 male adolescent athletes (with mean age of 16.83 ± 1.29 years) participating in various football clubs were recruited for this study. During the course of 8 weeks, these adolescent male athletes engaged in HIIT program centered around running. Upon completion of HIIT program, a treadmill exercise test was conducted. Subsequently, conventional and LSS echocardiography were conducted to acquire the evaluation of LV myocardial function. Interventricular septum thickness and ventricular mass index were significantly increased post high-intensity interval training (p < 0.005). After the HIIT, the treadmill exercise test demonstrated a significant increase in test duration and metabolic equivalent compared to the pre-training values (p < 0.005). Post high-intensity interval training, LSS analysis revealed significantly improved LV circumferential strain values in the basal and mid-segments of the left ventricle when compared to the pre-training measurements (p < 0.005). The implementation of high-intensity interval training led to an enhancement of circumferential LSS in the LV, indicating a favorable physiological adaptation and improved efficiency of the myocardium.
