Functional mitral regurgitation, updated: ventricular or atrial?
Review in Journal of echocardiography, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Lone atrial fibrillation (AF) can cause functional mitral regurgitation (MR), commonly referred to as "atrial functional MR (AFMR)." This type of MR has recently received much attention as an important cause of heart failure, and it represents a considerable therapeutic target in heart failure patients with AF. Mitral annular dilatation due to left atrial (LA) dilatation can be recognized as an original cause of AFMR, whereas the exact cascade of AFMR etiologies has not been established. AFMR is typically classified as Carpentier type I, and is likely to have a central jet. In contrast, a proportion of AFMR is classified as a combination of Carpentier type I for a flattened anterior mitral leaflet and Carpentier type IIIb for a tethered posterior mitral leaflet and is likely to have an eccentric jet directed toward the LA posterior wall. The traditional functional MR occurring in patients with left ventricular (LV) dilatation and/or systolic dysfunction, which is classified as Carpentier type IIIb, has since been designated "ventricular functional MR (VFMR)" to distinguish it from AFMR. Traditional VFMR, newly recognized AFMR, and their etiologic relations to LV/LA size and function are discussed in this review article.
