Right Atrial Phasic Function in Heart Failure With Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction.
Article in JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 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
objectivesThis study researched right atrial (RA) deformation indexes and their association with all-cause mortality among subjects with or without heart failure (HF).
backgroundAlthough left atrial dysfunction is well described in HF, patterns of RA dysfunction and their prognostic implications are unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can provide excellent visualization of the RA. We used CMR to characterize RA phasic function in HF and to assess its prognostic implications.
methodsThis study prospectively examined 608 adults without HF (n = 407), as well as adults with HF with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (n = 105) or with HF with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (n = 96). Phasic RA function was measured via volume measurements and feature-tracking methods to derive longitudinal strain. All-cause death was ascertained over a median follow-up of 38.9 months. Standardized hazard ratios (HRs) were computed via Cox regression.
resultsMeasures of RA phasic function were more prominently impaired in subjects with HFrEF than those in subjects with HFpEF. In analyses that adjusted for demographic factors, HF status, left ventricular ejection fraction, right ventricular end-diastolic volume index, and right ventricular ejection fraction, RA reservoir strain (HR: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.47 to 0.92; p = 0.0154), RA expansion index (HR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.91; p = 0.0116), RA conduit strain (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.40 to 0.84; p = 0.0039), and RA conduit strain rate (HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.02 to 2.220; p = 0.0373) independently predicted all-cause mortality. In contrast, RA booster pump function and RA volume index did not independently predict the risk of death.
conclusionsPhasic RA function is predictive of the risk of all-cause death in a diverse group of subjects with and without HF. RA conduit and reservoir function are independent predictors of mortality.
