Principal Strain Analysis for Early Detection of Radiation-Induced Cardiotoxicity in a Mouse Model.
Article in International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeRadiation-induced cardiotoxicity (RIC) is common in patients receiving thoracic radiation and is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality. The development of novel approaches for early detection and mitigation of RIC remains an acute unmet need. The objective of this study is to develop a mouse model of RIC that recapitulates the progression of cardiac dysfunction seen in patients receiving thoracic radiation and to develop novel cardiac strain markers that exhibit higher sensitivity in detecting subclinical RIC over existing approaches. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We developed a mouse model of RIC through image guided whole heart irradiation of male C57BL/6J mice using 2 radiation regimens (8 Gy × 5 and 24 Gy × 1). We developed a pipeline for analyzing anatomic and principal strains derived from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging obtained at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months following radiation.
resultsBoth radiation regimens used for whole heart irradiation caused a progressive decline in both anatomic and principal cardiac strains over time. The minimum principal cardiac strain detected a subclinical decline in cardiac contractility at an earlier time point than the traditional anatomic cardiac strains. We also observed asymmetric changes in contractility at the epicardium and endocardium relative to averaged cardiac strain across the full thickness of the left ventricle following cardiac irradiation, further reinforcing the limitations of existing methods, which do not capture the heterogeneity in cardiac strain changes along the transmural axis.
conclusionsWe have developed a mouse model of RIC that recapitulates time-dependent deterioration in myocardial contractility noted in patients receiving thoracic radiation. We also developed CMR imaging-derived novel principal strain cardiac markers that detect subclinical deterioration in cardiac contractile function earlier than traditional anatomic cardiac strain markers. If successfully translated into patients, our novel approach of measuring CMR imaging-derived cardiac principal strain analysis may enhance the detection of subclinical RIC in patients receiving thoracic radiation.
