Diagnostic accuracy of left atrial remodelling and natriuretic peptide levels for preclinical heart failure.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimsLeft atrial (LA) remodelling is an important predictor of cardiovascular events of heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation. Data regarding diagnostic value of LA remodelling on diastolic dysfunction (DD) and preclinical HF remain largely unexplored. METHODS AND
resultsWe assessed LA dimension (LAD) in 8368 consecutive asymptomatic Asians (mean age: 49.7, 38.9% women) and related such measure to updated American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) DD criteria and newly revised N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) cut-off (≥125 pg/mL) and HF with preserved ejection fraction criteria incorporating NT-proBNP and echocardiography parameters by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). LAD and indexed LAD (LADi) were both inversely correlated with myocardial relaxation e' and positively associated with indexed LA volume, left ventricular E/e', and tricuspid regurgitation velocity (all P < 0.001) and showed significantly graded increase across ASE-defined 'normal', 'inconclusive', and 'DD' categories (30.9, 34.4, and 36.5 mm; 16.7, 19.1, and 20.6 mm/m
conclusionsSingle utilization of atrial remodelling is highly useful for ruling out presence of DD and provides practical threshold for identifying preclinical HF based on most updated guidelines.
