1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: We evaluated the role of speckle tracking derived territorial longitudinal strain (TLS) to predict the culprit artery in non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: We evaluated 211 NSTEMI patients scheduled for invasive coronary angiography. Transthoracic conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography was done to assess the left ventricular systolic function, wall motion score index (WMSI), territorial WMSI, and TLS. Coronary angiography within 24 h of hospital admission was used to evaluate the culprit vessel. Results: The culprit vessel was most commonly left anterior descending (LAD) "36.5%" and left circumflex (LCX) "35.1%" followed by right coronary (RCA) "28.4%." Multivessel disease patients had higher WMSI and lower global longitudinal strain (GLS) compared to single- and 2-vessel disease ( Conclusions: TLS is an independent predictor for identifying the culprit vessel in patients with NSTEMI. Therefore, it should be evaluated during echocardiographic assessment of those patients.
