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
objectiveTo assess the clinical value of left ventricular Tei-index in early evaluation of cardiac function in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy after radiochemotherapy.
methodsThirty hypertensive patients with malignancies and left ventricular hypertrophy and 30 hypertensive patients with malignancies without left ventricular hypertrophy were enrolled in this study, with 30 normotensive patients with malignancies as the control group. Left ventricular Tei-index and cardiac function indexes of the patients were detected using Doppler echocardiography before and after radiochemotherapy, and the changes in the cardiac function index and left ventricular Tei-index were compared among the 3 groups.
resultsAfter radiochemotherapy, left ventricular Tei-index was significantly higher in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy than in the control patients and hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (P<0.05), and was similar between the latter two groups. No significant differences were found in the changes of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), ratio of the early to late ventricular filling velocities (E/A ratio), or end-systolic volume (EDV) among the 3 groups after radiochemotherapy.
conclusionTei-index is more sensitive than traditional echocardiography in assessing the changes of cardiac functions in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy after chemotherapy.
