Right Ventricular Strain by Echocardiography: Current Clinical Applications and Future Directions for Mechanics Assessment of the Forgotten Ventricle.
Review in Journal of personalized medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Myocardial deformation imaging has emerged as a valuable clinical tool for assessing right ventricular (RV) systolic function, providing additional diagnostic and prognostic insights compared to traditional indices of RV function. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography is currently the standardized method of choice for measuring RV longitudinal strain (RVLS) in clinical practice. RVLS provides a more sensitive indicator of subtle myocardial dysfunction than conventional parameters for RV function assessment (i.e., tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, tissue Doppler systolic velocity, fractional area change, or RV ejection fraction), with utility for the risk stratification and surveillance of conditions affecting the right heart. However, accurate interpretation of RVLS requires a comprehensive understanding of RV mechanics, pathology, and loading conditions across various cardiovascular conditions, as well as the effects of image quality and technical aspects of image acquisition and tracking in RV strain measurements. This review provides an updated overview of current practical guidelines for RV strain analysis, current clinical applications, and future directions for its potential use in clinical practice.
