Left atrial appendage morphology and cardiac function in patients with sinus rhythm.
Article 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 8 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 left atrial appendage (LAA) is one of the major sources of cardiac thrombus formation. The morphology of the LAA correlates with stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. In this study, we evaluated the correlation between LAA morphology and cardiac function by transthoracic echocardiography in patients with sinus rhythm. METHODS AND
resultsWe studied 55 patients (36 men, 70 ± 11 years) who underwent cardiac computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography. The following 4 different morphologies were used to categorize LAA by computed tomography: chicken wing (CW), windsock, cactus, and cauliflower. These morphologies were also classified into CW and non-CW (nonCW) types. There were no significant differences in the left ventricular ejection fraction (63% vs 62%), left atrial (LA) volume (22.2 vs 25.5 ml/m
conclusionsThese findings suggest that impaired LA and LAA functions are related to changes of the LAA in patients with sinus rhythm.
