References Values for Left Atrial Volumes, Emptying Fractions, Strains, and Strain Rates and Their Determinants by Age, Gender, and Ethnicity: The Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Article in Academic radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
RATIONALE AND
objectivesLeft Atrial (LA) adverse remodeling is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality in several cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Our goals were to quantify and provide reference ranges for LA structure and function using feature tracking cine cardiac magnetic resonance. MATERIALS AND
methods2526 participants of the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis study who had feature tracking cine cardiac magnetic resonance derived LA data and were free of atrial fibrillation/flutter and prior CV events at year five follow-up examination (2010-2012) were included in this study. LA phasic indexed volumes: maximum (LAVi max), minimum (LAVi min), and preatrial contraction (LAVi preA); LA empty fractions: total, passive, and active (LAtEF, LApEF, and LAaEF); LA longitudinal strain: maximum and preatrial contraction (S max and S preA); and LA longitudinal strain rate: systolic (SR max) and early/late diastolic (SR e and SR a) were measured. Age, gender, and race/ethnicity-specific reference ranges were identified. Also, reference values in a select subgroup of healthy participants free of traditional CV risk factors at the time of exam date were reported.
resultsThe mean ± SD for LAVi max, LAVi min, LAVi preA, S max, SR e, and SR a were in the 45-65-year-old participants: (33.8 ± 10 mL/m
conclusionThis study provides reference values of LA structure and function parameters from a healthy multiethnic community-based population aged 53-94 years evaluated by FTMRI.
