Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Children with Hypertension: in Search of a Definition.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide background on the importance of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children with hypertension, to highlight various diagnostic modalities and measures for defining LVH, and to demonstrate the need for standardization and a consensus definition for LVH in the pediatric population. RECENT
findingsThere is no clear consensus among specialists performing echocardiograms and treating clinicians on the definition of LVH in children with hypertension. In fact, there is considerable variation in every step of the evaluation of pediatric LVH. There is variation in every step of the assessment of LVH in the pediatric population. This variation exists in imaging modality, the type of measurement used, the method of calculating left ventricular mass (LVM), the method of indexing LVM to body size, the normalization method for the index used, the reference data used, the inclusion of confounders, the implementation in clinical practice, and the format for echocardiography reporting.
