Deformation Parameters of the Heart in Endurance Athletes and in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy-A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
A better understanding of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) functioning would help with the differentiation between athlete's heart and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to analyse deformation parameters in endurance athletes relative to patients with DCM using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT). The study included males of a similar age: 22 ultramarathon runners, 22 patients with DCM and 21 sedentary healthy controls (41 ± 9 years). The analysed parameters were peak LV global longitudinal, circumferential and radial strains (GLS, GCS and GRS, respectively); peak LV torsion; peak RV GLS. The peak LV GLS was similar in controls and athletes, but lower in DCM (
