Speckle-tracking echocardiographic abnormalities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is known to be associated with cardiovascular disease due to shared risk factors and its impact on the cardiopulmonary vasculature. Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is an effective tool for identifying subclinical, COPD-associated right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction before conventional echocardiography can detect it. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on STE in COPD are presented. A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Science Direct for papers published between 2011 and March 2023, and bias was assessed using the STROBE tool. Eleven studies were included in the two-stage meta-analysis: first among 742 COPD cases, and then a case-control design with 507 COPD cases and 259 healthy controls. Of the 11 studies analyzed, 6 were dedicated to the assessment of RV strain, and 5 studies examined LV global longitudinal strain (GLS). Significant heterogeneity was observed in the STE parameters of COPD patients (I
