Feasibility and Reproducibility of Left Atrium Measurements Using Different Three-Dimensional Echocardiographic Modalities.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Left atrium (LA) volume is a biomarker of cardiovascular outcomes. Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) provides an accurate LA evaluation, but data regarding the optimal 3DE method is scarce. We assessed the feasibility and reproducibility of LA measurements using different 3DE methods. One hundred and ninety-four patients were prospectively analyzed. Conventional 3DE and two semi-automatic 3DE algorithms (Tomtec™ and Dynamic Heart Model (DHM)) were used in 110 patients. Intra- and interobserver reproducibility and intervendor comparison were performed in additional patients' subsets. Forty patients underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Feasibility was 100% for Tomtec, 98.2% for DHM, and 72.8% for conventional 3DE. Tomtec volumes were higher than 3DE and DHM (
