Assessment of Left Atrial Function by Echocardiography: Novel Insights.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
purpose of reviewTo review the current status of measuring left atrial functions with echocardiography and the ability of atrial functional analysis to predict cardiovascular outcomes. RECENT
findingsAn increasing body of data suggests that left atrium (LA) function assessed with echocardiography provides incremental prognostic information in general and referral populations, and in patients with atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, and ischemic and valvular heart disease. In addition to volumetric analysis and spectral and tissue Doppler, deformational (strain and strain rate) imaging has most recently been used to assess LA reservoir, conduit, and booster pump functions and predict cardiovascular events. Studies of LA function provide new insights into the contribution of LA performance to cardiovascular disease and are promising tools for predicting cardiovascular events in healthy subjects and patients with heart disease. However, robust clinical outcome data from large prospective outcome trials are needed to confirm the incremental predictive ability of these LA functional measures before they are widely accepted.
