Two dimensional and real-time three dimensional ultrasound measurements of left ventricular diastolic function after marathon running: results from a substudy of the BeMaGIC trial.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Strenuous exercise results in transient but minor alterations in left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF). The aim of this study is to describe and interpret the kinetics of the well-established 2D parameters of diastolic function and the novel and very sensitive 3D parameters before/after a marathon race. LVDF was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography (TEE) in 212 healthy male [aged 42 (36-49) years)] marathon runners (all Be-MaGIC-study) in the week prior to (V1), immediately after (V2), 24 h after (V3) and 72 h after (V4) a marathon race. Real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) included maximal and minimal left atrium (LA) volume, total LA ejection fraction (Total-EF), total LA stroke volume (Total-SV), true ejection fraction (True-EF) and atrial stroke volume (ASV). After adjustment for possible confounders (heart rate and systolic blood pressure), 2D Parameters of left ventricular inflow (E/A-ratio) decreased from pre- to immediately post-race (- 0.3 ± 0.06, p < 0.001) and returned to baseline within 24 h. [Formula: see text]-ratio remained unchanged directly post-race, but was significantly increased during follow-up of 24 and 72 h. 3D LA V
