Left ventricular structural and functional changes evaluated by echocardiography and two-dimensional strain in patients with sickle cell disease.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionPatients with sickle cell disease have increased left ventricular size, which is not usually accompanied by changes in systolic function indexes. We assessed echocardiographic abnormalities present in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and compared echocardiographic parameters to other sickle cell diseases (OSCD). MATERIAL AND
methodsA blind cross-sectional study with 60 patients with SCA and 16 patients with OSCD who underwent transthoracic echocardiography was performed.
resultsEchocardiographic findings were: left atrial volume index 47.7 ±11.5 ml/m² in SCA group and 31.7 ±8.42 ml/m² in OSCD group (
conclusionsThere was an increase of left ventricular and left atrial sizes in patients with SCA, compared to patients with OSCD, without changes in systolic or diastolic function in both groups. This could be due to the hyperkinetic state due to the more severe anemia in the SCA subjects.
