Imaging the right ventricle--current state of the art.
Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 87 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The right ventricle has long been the 'forgotten ventricle', as it is difficult to image owing to its complex morphology, its thin wall with coarse trabeculations, and its anterior position within the chest. Developments in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and echocardiography have provided new insights into right ventricular (RV) structure and function. RV performance seems to be an important determinant of clinical status and long-term outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathies, and, especially, in patients with congenital heart disease. A variety of different parameters can be measured to assess RV function, but a lot of uncertainty remains on how to assess RV performance in daily clinical practice and which measurements to use in clinical decision-making. CMR is currently considered the reference technique for RV volumetry and calculation of ejection fraction. Various echocardiographic techniques can provide reliable information on RV dimensions and RV systolic and diastolic function that can be used in clinical follow-up. The introduction of newer echocardiographic techniques, such as three-dimensional echocardiography, tissue Doppler ultrasonography, and ultrasound strain imaging, challenge the leading role of CMR in RV functional assessment, but further validation and accumulation of data are required before these techniques can play a key part in clinical decision-making.
