Right ventricular mechanical pattern in health and disease: beyond longitudinal shortening.
Review in Heart failure reviews, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 88 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Right ventricular (RV) function has proven to be a prognostic factor in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction and in pulmonary hypertension. RV function is also a cornerstone in the management of novel clinical issues, such as mechanical circulatory support devices or grown-up congenital heart disease patients. Despite the notable amount of circumferentially oriented myofibers in the subepicardial layer of the RV myocardium, the non-longitudinal motion directions are often neglected in the everyday assessment of RV function by echocardiography. However, the complex RV contraction pattern incorporates different motion components along three anatomically relevant axes: longitudinal shortening with traction of the tricuspid annulus towards the apex, radial motion of free wall often referred as the "bellows effect", and anteroposterior shortening of the chamber by stretching the free wall over the septum. Advanced echocardiographic techniques, such as speckle-tracking and 3D echocardiography allow an in-depth characterization of RV mechanical pattern, providing better understanding of RV systolic and diastolic function. In our current review, we summarize the existing knowledge regarding RV mechanical adaptation to pressure- and/or volume-overloaded states and also other physiologic or pathologic conditions.
