Noninvasive Left Ventricular Pressure-Strain Loop for Assessment of Myocardial Work in Hemodialysis in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.
Article in Echocardiography (Mount Kisco, N.Y.), 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
objectiveTo explore the value of a novel echocardiographic measure-left ventricular pressure-strain loop (LV-PSL) for assessment of patients with chronic kidney disease by comparing the changes before and after hemodialysis (HD).
methodsA total of 117 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis were recruited. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) combined with cuff blood pressure measurement is used to calculate the global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE). The differences in echocardiographic parameters before and after hemodialysis on the same day were compared. Additionally, 50 healthy individuals were included as the control group.
resultsCompared with the control group, both the pre-HD and post-HD groups exhibited significantly lower GLS and GWE (pre-HD: p = 0.006 and p = 0.000, respectively; post-HD: p = 0.000 and p = 0.000, respectively). In contrast, the pre-HD group had significantly higher values in PSD, GWI, GCW, and GWW (p = 0.000 for PSD and GWW; p = 0.001 for GWI and GCW). Notably, the post-HD group also had higher values in PSD and GWW compared to the control group (p = 0.000 for both), while no significant differences were observed in GWI and GCW between the post-HD and control groups (p = 0.247 and p = 0.134, respectively).
conclusionsThe LV-PSL parameters are capable of effectively assessing myocardial work in HD patients. Moreover, these parameters offer novel reference indicators for evaluating volume load and left ventricular myocardial function in HD patients.
