Left atrial size and function as assessed by computed tomography in cardiac resynchronization therapy: Association to echocardiographic and clinical outcome.
Trial report in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2017. 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
To evaluate whether baseline left atrial (LA) volume and function were associated with clinical or echocardiographic response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and to determine LA reverse remodeling as assessed by computed tomography (CT). We prospectively included patients receiving a CRT system who underwent dynamic cardiac CT with measurement of LA size and function before and 6 months after implantation. Patients alive not hospitalized for heart failure, and improving ≥1 NYHA class or ≥10% in 6-min walk test after 6 months follow-up were classified as clinical responders. Echocardiographic response was defined as ≥15% reduction in left ventricular (LV) end-systolic volume. We included 138 patients, of whom 95 (69%) were clinical responders and 114 (83%) were echocardiographic responders. We found no association between baseline measures of LA volume or function and clinical or echocardiographic response. Mean reduction in LA maximum and minimum volumes at 6 months were 3.3 ± 12.7 ml/m
