Left and Right Atrial Function and Remodeling in Beta-Thalassaemia Major.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This study aimed to assess left (LA) and right atrial (RA) function in patients with beta-thalassaemia major. Thirty-eight patients (19 males) aged 34.5 ± 10.7 years and 43 (18 males) controls aged 30.3 ± 12.6 years (p = 0.12) were studied. The maximum RA and LA areas were measured using two-dimensional planimetry, while atrial and ventricular strain and strain rates were quantified using speckle-tracking echocardiography. Compared with controls, patients had significantly reduced LA and RA peak positive strain and total strain, and LA strain rate during ventricular systole and at atrial contraction (all p < 0.05). The LA and RA strain parameters were significantly associated (all p < 0.05). The maximum LA (10.2 ± 1.6 cm
