The Utility of Eccentricity Index as a Measure of the Right Ventricular Function in a Lung Resection Cohort.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
contextRight ventricular (RV) dysfunction occurs after lung resection and is associated with postoperative morbidity. Noninvasive evaluation of the RV is challenging, particularly in the postoperative period. A reliable measure of RV function would have value in this population.
aimsThis study compares eccentricity index (EI) obtained by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) determined measures of RV function in a lung resection cohort. CMR is the reference method for noninvasive assessment of RV function. DESIGN AND
settingProspective observational cohort study at a single tertiary hospital. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-eight patients scheduled for elective lung resection underwent contemporaneous TTE and CMR imaging preoperatively, on postoperative day (POD) 2 and at 2-month. Systolic and diastolic EI was measured offline from anonymized and randomized TTE and CMR images. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Bland-Altman analysis was performed to determine agreement between EI
resultsBland-Altman analysis showed a negligible mean difference between EI
conclusionsTTE determined EI is not useful as a noninvasive method of assessing RV function following lung resection.
