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
introductionDespite different ultrasound parameters, left ventricular filling pressures (LVFP) assessment remains inconclusive in some cases.
aimTo determine the contribution of left atrial strain (LAS) in estimating LVFP in patients with exertional symptoms and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
methodsThis was a monocentric study, carried out in the cardiology department of the Interior Security Forces Hospital, La Marsa, between October 2021 and March 2022. Patients with exertional symptoms had a physical examination, a biological assessment and an ultrasound examination at rest and, if necessary, during exercise. We investigated the performance of LAS components (Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS), peak atrial contraction strain (PACS) and conduit function (FnC) in predicting LVFP rising. Patients were categorized into two final groups according to LVFP: Group A= high LVFP at rest or during exercise (25 patients) and Group B= not-high LVFP at rest and during exercise (48 patients).
resultsSeventy-three patients were enrolled in the study, with a mean age of 61±12 years and a majority being female (57%). The median PALS was 29.3% [21.4-32.4]. The mean PACS and FnC values were 13.4%±4.9 and 13.7%±4.7, respectively. Patients with high LVFP demonstrated lower LAS parameters and elevated NT-Pro BNP levels. LAS showed negative correlations with the E/e' ratio and NT-Pro BNP. PALS emerged as an independent predictor of LVFP elevation (HR=0.71; 95% CI: 0.513-0.986; p=0.041).
conclusionThis study highlights that LAS, as a simple ultrasound parameter, can effectively predict high LVFP.
