Systematic Evaluation of Systemic Right Ventricular Function.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe right ventricle serves as the subaortic systemic ventricle (sysRV) in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) surgically repaired by an atrial switch. SysRV can lead to late complications, primarily heart failure, significant regurgitation of the systemic atrioventricular (AV) valve, and ventricular arrhythmias with sudden cardiac death. We sought to investigate the value of 2D- and 3D-echocardiographic parameters of sysRV function.
methodsConsecutive adult patients with sysRV who presented at the adult congenital heart disease outpatient clinic were prospectively enrolled. All patients received comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography, including 3D-echocardiography, cardiac magnetic-resonance-imaging (CMR), cardiopulmonary-exercise-testing, and blood analysis for NT-proBNP.
resultsA total of 27 patients were included, 18 with TGA and nine with ccTGA. Median age was 37 years (Q1 = 31, Q3 = 44), 44% were male, median NT-proBNP was 189 pg/mL (Q1 = 155, Q3 = 467); sufficient 3D-echocardiography datasets were acquired in 78% of patients. All echocardiographic 2D and 3D volumetric function parameters correlated with CMR data, whereas a correlation was not seen with any of the longitudinal function parameters. NT-proBNP correlated with tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r = -0.43,
conclusionSystematic evaluation of sysRV is complex and should include not only volumetric parameters but also parameters of longitudinal function in addition to measurement of NT-proBNP. In patients with good image quality, 3D-echocardiography can be used to assess volumes and EF.
