Effect of trimetazidine on left ventricular functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
We investigated the impact of trimetazidine treatment on left ventricular (LV) functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with diastolic dysfunction as an early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sixty-three patients were randomly assigned to receive either trimetazidine or a placebo for 3 months. At baseline and after 3-months of treatment, measurements of serum levels of glycemic control parameters, lipid profile, tumor necrosis factor alpha, transforming growth factor beta 1, n-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide and assessment of modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, echocardiographic indices of LV functions and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) were performed. After 3-months, trimetazidine group exhibited a significant reduction in left atrial volume index by 6.99% versus an increase by 0.66% in placebo group, p = 0.034. Moreover, average e' increased by a significantly higher percentage in trimetazidine versus placebo group (8.46 ± 18.64 vs. -2.49 ± 14.52, respectively. p = 0.015). Trimetazidine treatment resulted in a significant increase in LVGLS by 6.66% versus LVGLS reduction by 2.79% in placebo group (p = 0.004). Trimetazidine group had a significantly lower median mMRC dyspnea score compared to placebo (0 vs. 1, respectively, p = 0.015) and a significantly lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) (103.43 ± 28.31 vs. 125.34 ± 45.27, respectively, p = 0.032). There was no significant difference between both groups in levels of other biomarkers. Three-months treatment with trimetazidine improved diastolic function parameters, LVGLS, dyspnea severity and LDL-C levels in diabetic patients with diastolic dysfunction.
