Comparisons of Left Atrial Functional Parameters with Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in a Large Taiwanese Population with Normal Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction According to Age.

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
backgroundRecent studies have shown that left atrial (LA) volume is a sensitive morphophysiological indicator of the severity of LV dysfunction and may also be a useful index of cardiovascular risk. In this study, we performed comparisons among left atrial (LA) functional parameters for predicting age-related diastolic dysfunction.
methodsEchocardiography was performed in 2248 healthy participants with a low possibility of heart disease according to the decennium of age, and reference values were established. Progressive diastolic dysfunction paralleled increasing age and could be well identified by traditional and advanced echocardiographic parameters, including mitral inflow pattern, tissue Doppler parameters, and LA volume.
resultsRegarding LA functional parameters analyzed based on the decennium of age, left atrial ejection fraction (LAEF) and emptying fraction could not represent aging diastolic dysfunction well, but LA expansion index ((Vol
conclusionsCompared with other LA functional parameters, LA expansion index can well represent age-related diastolic dysfunction.
