The Influence of Atrial Strain on Functional Capacity in Patients with the Fontan Circulation.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Speckle-tracking echocardiography has been used to assess atrial function. This analysis is feasible in univentricular hearts. The aim of this study was to characterize the relationship between atrial strain and functional capacity in the Fontan circulation. Apical four-chamber echocardiographic loops of 39 Fontan patients were reviewed. The dominant atrium was assessed for active (ε
