Myocardial active strain energy density and contractance: novel prognostic tools for left ventricular function and cardiovascular risk.
Review in European heart journal. Imaging methods and practice, 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
Myocardial active strain energy density (MASED), also known as contractance, is a novel measure of myocardial contractile function, defined by the area within the stress-strain loop; it quantifies the energy per unit volume of myocardium used to perform work. MASED applies the principle of strain energy density, which is grounded in engineering science, to cardiac tissue. Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, we demonstrate that global longitudinal active strain energy density (GLASED), a subtype of MASED, provides superior predictive value compared to conventional metrics such as ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain in predicting mortality among patients with hypertensive heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, and amyloid heart disease (
