Echocardiography in the assessment of left ventricular longitudinal systolic function: current methodology and clinical applications.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Quantification of left ventricular (LV) systolic function represents a major aspect of echocardiographic assessment in the spectrum of cardiac diseases. However, because of the high complexity of LV contraction mechanics, the classical approach with assessment of a single measure of systolic function, such as ejection fraction or fractional shortening, has been largely superseded. During the last years, through the considerable technical advances in the field of ultrasonography, a number of different echocardiographic methodologies have become available to perform a detailed assessment of different aspects of LV contraction. In particular, evaluation of LV longitudinal systolic dynamics has progressively gained importance as a key aspect in the assessment of LV systolic function. For most of the techniques currently used to explore LV longitudinal function, the clinical usefulness in both research and daily practice has been validated by consistent evidence and their use is rapidly increasing. Technical considerations and potential clinical applications of the assessment of LV longitudinal systolic function are reviewed.
