Assessment of left ventricular function in patients with diabetic nephropathy using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography.

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
Objective: To assess cardiac function using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STI) in diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients and investigate the relationship between albuminuria and early cardiac systolic and diastolic dysfunction, along with associated risk factors based on clinical indicators. Methods: A total of 75 patients with DN, 100 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), and 37 healthy controls were recruited. Clinical data were collected, and conventional echocardiography as well as 2D-STI were performed on all participants. Results: 2D-STI findings revealed a significant increased occurrence rate of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction [global longitudinal strain values (GLS) <18%], among diabetic patients compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, the proportion of GLS<18% occurrence was higher in the DN group compared to the DM group (p<0.001) and especially higher in the massive albuminuria group than that in the microalbuminuria group ( Conclusion: The higher cholesterol levels in patients with DN are associated with a greater risk of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction reflected by a decrease in GLS assayed with 2D-STI. Critical relevance statement: GLS measured by 2D-STI combined with clinical indexes to evaluate and predict subclinical left ventricular systolic function in patients with DM, providing reference for early prevention and treatment of cardiac dysfunction in patients with DN.
