Circumferential strain and strain rates of the descending aorta as novel measures of aortic stiffness and wall mechanics from standard cardiac MRI.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
During standard cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) the horizontal long-axis cine image (i.e., 4-chamber) is captured which includes a cross-section of the descending aorta. The aortic cross-section can be used to assess aortic stiffness (distensibility; ∆area/pressure) or circumferential strain (percentage vascular deformation). We examined whether descending aortic strain from traditional CMR is sensitive to age- and disease-related (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFpEF) arteriosclerosis. We recruited 83 participants into three groups: (1) 34 young individuals (age: 22 ± 3 years; body mass index (BMI): 24.3 ± 2.8 kg/m
