Evaluation of the relationship between left atrial stiffness, left ventricular stiffness, and left atrioventricular coupling index in type 2 diabetes patients: a speckle tracking echocardiography study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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: Cardiovascular complications are a leading cause of mortality and disability in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM). Moreover, DM can directly impact the structure and function of cardiac muscle. We conducted a study to evaluate cardiac stiffness in DM patients in both the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV), as well as to assess the impact of DM on the synchronization of the LA and LV, particularly within the Vietnamese population, utilizing speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods: We studied 111 research subjects divided into two groups comprising 52 patients with DM and 59 healthy individuals. All the subjects provided relevant clinical information, and echocardiography was performed to assess the indices of LA stiffness, LV stiffness, and left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI). Results: Our study indicated that DM patients exhibited greater LA and LV stiffness than control patients. The LACI (%) in the DM group was also greater than that in the control group (17.12% ± 6.72% vs. 12.28% ± 3.96%, respectively; Conclusions: LA stiffness, LV stiffness, and the LACI are greater in DM patients than in normal individuals.
