T2 Relaxation Times at Cardiac MRI in Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Background T2 mapping is an important cardiac MRI technique with applications in various conditions. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the T2 literature for normal values is lacking. Purpose To characterize the ranges of normal values and variability of myocardial T2 relaxation times using a systematic review and meta-analysis of the T2 literature. Materials and Methods PubMed and Cochrane Central were searched from June 2019 to January 2020 for myocardial T2 measurements in healthy adults. Studies quantifying T2 relaxation times conducted at 1.5 T or 3.0 T using gradient and spin-echo (GRASE) or T2-prepared balanced steady-state free precession sequences were included. Summary means were generated using a random-effects model. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed to assess factors causing heterogeneity. Results Of the 2481 articles retrieved, 42 studies were included with 954 healthy adults (mean age, 42.4 years ± 10.5 [standard deviation]; 538 men). The pooled mean of T2 across studies was 52 msec at 1.5 T (95% confidence interval [CI]: 51 msec, 53 msec) and 46 msec at 3.0 T (95% CI: 44 msec, 48 msec) (
