Current Role of Echocardiography in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: from Cardiac Mechanics to Flow Dynamics Analysis.
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purpose of reviewThe aim of this review is to summarily explain what LV synchrony, coordination, myocardial work, and flow dynamics are, trying to clarify their advantages and limitations in the treatment of heart failure patients undergoing or with implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). RECENT
findingsCRT is an established treatment for patients with heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In the current guidelines, CRT implant indications rely only on electrical dyssynchrony, but in the last years, many aspects of cardiac mechanics (including contractile synchrony, coordination, propagation, and myocardial work) and flow dynamics have been studied using echocardiographic techniques to better characterize patients undergoing or with implanted CRT. However, the concepts, limits, and potential applications of all these echocardiographic evaluations are unclear to most clinicians. The use of left ventricular dyssynchrony and discoordination indices may help to identify those significant mechanical alterations whose correction may increase the probability of a favorable CRT response. Assessment of myocardial work and intracardiac flow dynamics may overcome some limitations of the conventional evaluation of cardiac mechanics but more investigations are needed before extensive clinical application.
