Sex Differences in Cardiac Flow Dynamics of Healthy Volunteers.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to further understand the relationship between cardiac function and flow, on the basis of sex, by quantifying cardiac flow characteristics and relating them to cardiac muscle performance in young adults. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, cardiac four-dimensional flow (4D flow) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and two-dimensional cine MRI were performed on 20 male and 19 female volunteers aged 20-35. Velocity-based metrics of flow, kinetic energy, vorticity, and efficiency indices were quantified, as well as cardiac strain metrics. RESULTS*: Peak systolic blood kinetic energy (male: 4.76 ± 2.66 mJ; female: 3.36 ± 1.43 mJ; p=0.047) was significantly higher in the male left ventricle (LV) than in the female LV. Peak systolic vorticity index (male: 0.008 ± 0.005 rad-m
conclusionLeft ventricular vorticity metrics were observed to be higher in women than in men and displayed moderate correlation to cardiac strain metrics. The methods and results of this study may be used to further understand the sex-based cardiac efficiency relationship between cardiac function and flow.
