Review in Der Radiologe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEchocardiography is the standard for the diagnosis of heart diseases. Nevertheless, thoracic X‑ray is a frequently used examination method, also for questions regarding the cardiac situation of patients. QUESTION: How relevant is the conventional radiological assessment of heart disease? MATERIALS AND
methodsLong-known knowledge about pathophysiology of heart disease and its radiological correlation are discussed.
resultsKnowledge of the normal anatomy of the heart is a basic prerequisite for the assessment of pathologies. For the question of heart disease, it is essential to also assess the pulmonary vascularization. The size of the entire heart and the individual cardiac cavities is assessed by direct and indirect signs, such as heart-lung ratio, cava triangle, vascular pedicle or the size of the aorta and of the main pulmonary artery. The most common cause of heart enlargement is valve disease, which shows various conventional radiological images.
conclusionConventional thoracic radiography still plays a central role in the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary diseases and is an important diagnostic tool for quickly obtaining an overview of the patient's cardiopulmonary situation. The interplay between physiology and X‑ray symptoms is complex, so close attention should be paid not only to the heart anatomy and configuration, but also primarily to the pulmonary blood flow.
