Ultrasonographic assessment of organs other than the heart in patients with heart failure.
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The number of patients with heart failure has been dramatically increasing in Japan in association with aging of the society. This phenomenon is referred to as a heart failure pandemic. The fundamental origin of heart failure is cardiac dysfunction. Echocardiography is widely used to assess cardiac function, as well as to diagnose heart diseases that cause cardiac dysfunction. However, the severity of heart failure is not necessarily correlated with that of cardiac dysfunction. This is partly explained by the fact that heart failure induces dysfunction of organs other than the heart through hemodynamic deterioration and neurohumoral changes. In addition, one of the characteristics of patients with heart failure, particularly elderly patients, is the presence of numerous comorbidities. Symptoms of heart failure are not specific, and assessment of cardiac function, particularly left ventricular diastolic function, has not been established. Thus, ultrasonographic assessment of organs other than the heart helps the diagnosis of heart failure, assessment of the severity of heart failure, and development of our understanding of the pathophysiology in each patient. This review summarizes current knowledge about the usefulness of ultrasonographic assessment of organs other than the heart in heart failure.
