Left atrial mechanics in children: insights from new applications of strain imaging.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Our principal aim was to describe functional changes in dilated left atrium (LA) of children by using new applications of LA strain. We studied 66 patients (age range 0.2-22 years) consisting of 33 with LA enlargement. We utilized speckle-tracking imaging for assessment LA longitudinal strain (S) and longitudinal displacement (D). S-D loops were generated by plotting S and D data along Y and X axes, respectively. We also measured noninvasive LA stiffness index, [Formula: see text] (%
