State of the Art Review of the Right Ventricle in COPD Patients: It is Time to Look Closer.
Review in Lung, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Since the first description of pulmonary circulation in the 16th century, the knowledge of the complex interaction between the heart and lungs has greatly improved. Hypoxemia plays a classical role in the development of complications such as pulmonary hypertension and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction in patients presenting with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, more recent results have revealed the presence of RV vascular structural and functional changes even in patients with mild COPD, without hypoxemia or pulmonary hypertension at rest. Compared to the left ventricle, the anatomy of the RV is unique and complex, which makes its assessment more difficult during routine exams. Therefore, it is common that very little attention is paid to its study. In this article, the physiological aspects of pulmonary circulation and the RV, as well as their impairment in COPD patients, are presented. In addition, important aspects of the recommendations for RV assessment using echocardiography are approached and studies that used other complementary exams to evaluate RV structure and function are revisited. Finally, the findings of studies that assessed the impact of RV dysfunction in the prognosis of patients with COPD are described.
