Short-term outcomes of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention: a single-center speckle tracking echocardiographic study in Vietnam.

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
Background: Data on the prognostic value of myocardial strain in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) from low- and middle-income countries remain scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of left ventricular myocardial strain in patients with NSTE-ACS after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Vietnam. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, consecutive patients diagnosed with NSTE-ACS and treated with PCI underwent conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiography within 24 h post-PCI to assess myocardial function, including global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS). Patients were followed for 12 months. The association between echocardiographic parameters and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards models. Prognostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, area under the curve (AUC), and other diagnostic indices. Results: A total of 127 patients were included (mean age 65.5 ± 10.5 years; 71.3% male). During 12 months of follow-up, 26 patients (20.5%) experienced MACE. The MACE group had significantly impaired GLS, GCS, and GRS compared with the event-free group (all Conclusion: In patients with NSTE-ACS, post-PCI GLS, GCS, and GRS were significantly more impaired in those who developed MACE compared with the event-free group, indicating underlying cardiac dysfunction or myocardial injury. Among these parameters, GLS emerged as an independent predictor of MACE after PCI and may serve as a valuable tool for identifying high-risk patients.
