P-Wave Changes Associated with Chiari Network in the Right Atrium.
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 2 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
The Chiari network (CN) is a mobile, net-like structure occasionally present in the right atrium, near the opening of the inferior vena cava and coronary sinus. While typically asymptomatic, it may contribute to thromboembolism or right atrial pathologies. Here, we hypothesized that existing differences in P-wave morphology on electrocardiograms (ECG) may be associated with atrial conduction changes. Seventy-one children with a CN were recruited and matched to 60 healthy controls. P-wave duration, P-wave amplitude, P dispersion (Pd), QRS, PR, QT, and QTc (calculated with Bazett formula) intervals were measured and compared. Between the control and the patient groups, the mean P-wave duration was 78.1 ms and 88.7 ms, P amplitude was 1.3 mm and 1.1 mm, and Pd was 18.9 and 35.5 ms, respectively. These differences were statistically significant across all measurements (p < 0.05). Atrial conduction may be affected in patients with CN, and these patients may then develop atrial arrhythmia.
