1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Exercise causes changes in the heart in response to the hemodynamic demands of increased systemic and pulmonary requirements during exercise. Understanding these adaptations is of great importance, since they may overlap with those caused by pathological conditions. Initial descriptions of athlete's heart focused mainly on chronic adaptation of the left heart to training. In recent years, the substantial structural and functional adaptations of the right heart have been documented, highlighting the complex interplay with left heart. Moreover, there is evolving evidence of acute and chronic cardiac damage, mainly involving the right heart, which may predispose subjects to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, configuring an exercise-induced cardiomyopathy. The aim of this article is to review the current knowledge on the physiologic and pathophysiologic changes in the right heart in highly trained athletes.
