Echocardiographic evaluation methods for right ventricular function.
Review in Journal of echocardiography, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The right ventricle (RV) was neglected for a long time and has only recently gained attention. RV systolic function important role is now recognized. It is considered a predictor of outcome in many conditions like ischemic heart disease, left heart failure, valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease and pulmonary embolism. Evaluation of RV systolic function is recommended as part of the standard echocardiography examination; however, this evaluation is still challenging because of the RV complex geometry. Various echocardiographic methods have been developed to evaluate RV systolic function; some of them are recommended for use in clinical practice while others are still considered research tools or have not yet been recommended. In this review article, we discuss current RV systolic function evaluation methods and report their advantages, limitations, abnormality thresholds and recommendations according to the most recently published guidelines.
