1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose To develop a deep learning (DL) model that derives aligned strain values from cine (noncontrast) cardiac MRI and evaluate performance of these values to predict myocardial fibrosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 139 male patients with DMD who underwent cardiac MRI at a single center between February 2018 and April 2023. A DL pipeline was developed to detect five key frames throughout the cardiac cycle and respective dense deformation fields, allowing for phase-specific strain analysis across patients and from one key frame to the next. Effectiveness of these strain values in identifying abnormal deformations associated with fibrotic segments was evaluated in 57 patients (mean age [± SD], 15.2 years ± 3.1), and reproducibility was assessed in 82 patients by comparing the study method with existing feature-tracking and DL-based methods. Statistical analysis compared strain values using
