Modulation of left atrial function by ventricular filling impairment.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Left atrial function is an important determinant of ventricular filling. Assessment of the complex role that the atrial cavity exerts in the ventricular filling process can be made noninvasively. Computing the net instantaneous difference between mitral and pulmonary venous flow is an approach which permits the construction of the left atrial volume curve throughout the cardiac cycle (as well as the left ventricular volume curve during diastole), and to quantify the 3 different functions that the cavity performs. In particular, increasing degrees of ventricular filling impairment are met by mechanical left atrial adaptations which basically rely on the Starling mechanism, with the reservoir/pump complex activated to the limit of the preload reserve of the cavity. At end-stage left ventricular dysfunction, however, the atrial reservoir and the booster pump function decline and conduit takes precedence, suggesting afterload mismatch, impaired atrial compliance and, perhaps, depressed atrial contractility. Increased wall stiffening and reduced elastic recoil induced by chronic atrial distension might explain the additional power of atrial size in stratifying prognostically patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
