Left ventricular global longitudinal strain adds incremental value for risk prediction in unselected clinical patients.

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
Aims: Deformation imaging has demonstrated incremental prognostic value compared to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in specific cardiovascular diseases; however, it remains widely underused. Consequently, we sought to investigate the significance of deformation imaging in an all-comers population to assess its value in a routine in- and outpatient setting. Methods and results: Patients were prospectively recruited to the single-centre cardiac magnetic resonance registry. Volumetric right and left ventricular (RV/LV) analyses and global circumferential strain were assessed on short-axis stacks, RV and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) on long-axis views respectively. Follow-up was conducted for primary (all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization) and secondary (all-cause mortality, hospitalized angina, infarction, and stroke) endpoints. In total, Conclusion: In an all-comers, low-risk patient population, GLS emerged as an independent risk predictor with incremental prognostic value relative to LVEF. This finding may support clinical routine implementation of GLS in cardiac in- and outpatient clinics.
