Assessment of left atrial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a disease duration of six months.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. 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
introductionChanges in left atrial (LA) size and function are associated with adverse clinical events. Recently, duration of diabetes mellitus (DM2) has been found to be positively associated with increased LA volume and impaired LA function. This study was performed, using two-dimensional echocardiograpy, to evaluate the changes in LA volume and function in patients with DM2 with a disease duration of six months, and to assess the parameters that affect LA volume and function.
methodsFifty-six patients (28 male, age: 52.6 ± 6.5 years) with DM2 and 56 controls (24 male; age: 50.1 ± 7.0 years) were enrolled in the study. Each subject underwent conventional two-dimensional echocardiography to assess LA volume (indexed maximal LA volume: V
resultsLA diameter, indexed V
conclusionImpaired LA function may be present in patients with newly diagnosed DM2. BMI and increasing age caused LA enlargement and LA volumes that were independent of the effects of hypertension and DM2.
