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
backgroundThree-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) have been reported to correlate with the extent of left ventricular myocardial fibrosis (LVMF), but the value of 3D-STE in predicting LVMF compared with CMR-FT has not been investigated in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF).
methodsA total of 155 patients who underwent CMR, two-dimensional (2D), and 3D echocardiographic examinations before heart transplantation were enrolled. Left ventricular global radial strain (GRS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were obtained from CMR-FT, 3D-STE, and 2D-STE. The degree of LVMF was quantified using Masson's trichrome staining in left ventricular myocardial samples from the explanted hearts, and patients were divided into three groups according to tertiles of histologic LVMF.
results3D-GLS, 2D-GLS, CMR-GLS, and CMR-GCS were lower in patients with severe LVMF than in those with mild and moderate LVMF. LVMF was strongly correlated with CMR-GLS and 3D-GLS (r = 0.74, 0.73, respectively; both P < 0.001), and moderately correlated with 2D-GLS (r = 0.63, P < 0.001). CMR-GLS and 3D-GLS demonstrated similar diagnostic performance in identifying severe LVMF (area under the curve: 0.88 vs. 0.86, P > 0.05). The model with CMR-GLS (R
conclusionBoth CMR-GLS and 3D-GLS are strongly correlated with LVMF, and are promising non-invasive imaging parameters for the assessment of LVMF in patients with end-stage HF.
