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: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) exhibits substantial phenotypic heterogeneity; however, differences in left atrial (LA) function among morphological subtypes remain poorly characterized. Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) offers advanced capabilities for quantifying LA deformation, yet its application to the evaluation of subtype-specific LA mechanics remains limited. This study aimed to investigate LA functional impairment among HCM phenotypic subtypes using CMR-FT. Methods: A total of 225 patients with HCM, divided into septal (n=153), apical (n=40), and concentric (n=32) subgroups, along with 68 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC), were retrospectively included from March 2023 to October 2024 at three tertiary hospitals. LA functional parameters, including reservoir strain (εs), conduit strain (εe), booster strain (εa), peak positive strain rate (SRs), peak early negative strain rate (SRe), and peak late negative strain rate (SRa), were obtained using CMR-FT. Statistical analyses included Chi-squared tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post hoc testing, linear regression, and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Results: All HCM subgroups showed impaired LA strain parameters compared to HC [(εs, %): septal: 26.69±11.02, apical: 23.47±8.16, concentric: 21.30±6.53 Conclusions: LA dysfunction varies across HCM phenotypes, with greater reservoir and booster impairment in concentric than septal HCM. These findings underscore the subtype-specific alterations in atrial mechanics and highlight the potential utility of CMR-FT for phenotypic characterization in HCM.
