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
This study evaluates alterations in right ventricular strains using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation/replacement (TAVI/TAVR) and compares these alterations with conventional echocardiographic measurements. A systematic search identified studies assessing RVFWLS and RVGLS via STE pre- and post-TAVI/TAVR. Secondary outcomes included LVEF, TAPSE, FAC, and LVGLS changes. Echocardiographic parameters of TAVI/TAVR patients were compared to those of SAVR patients. Subgroup analyses were based on follow-up duration (≤ 1 month vs. >1 month). Meta-regression examined associations between baseline LVEF, RV strain parameters, and AVA with RV strain changes. Risk of bias assessments, sensitivity analyses, and publication bias evaluations ensured result robustness. Thirteen studies comprising 1,399 patients were analyzed. RVFWLS significantly improved post-TAVI/TAVR (MD = 1.57, SMD = 0.23, p < 0.001). RVGLS showed minor improvement (SMD = 0.09, p = 0.028). LVGLS exhibited considerable improvement (MD = 1.14, SMD = 0.27, p < 0.001). RVFWLS demonstrated the most improvement among all parameters at follow-up > 1 month, whereas within the first month, LVGLS showed greater improvement than RVFWLS. (SMD = 0.30, MD = 1.98, p < 0.001). Lower AVA was associated with greater RVFWLS improvement (coefficient= -0.11, p = 0.08). Among the echocardiographic parameters, only RVFWLS and LVGLS showed consistent improvement after TAVI/TAVR. RVFWLS demonstrated the greatest improvement beyond 1 month of follow-up, whereas LVGLS showed the largest early improvement within the first month. In contrast, changes in RVGLS, LVEF, TAPSE, and FAC were generally small.Keywords: speckle-tracking echocardiography, echocardiography, transcatheter aortic valve implantation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, right ventricle.
