Diverse Adiposity and Atrio-Ventricular Dysfunction across Obesity Phenotypes: Implication of Epicardial Fat Analysis.

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
Obesity has been conceptualized as a highly heterogeneous condition. We aim to investigate chamber-specific effects of obesity on the heart and relevant outcomes. A total of 2944 symptom-free individuals (age: 47.5 ± 10.0 years), free of known cardiovascular diseases were classified into four categories based on body mass index (BMI) (as normal-weight (NW) vs. overweight/obese (O)) and metabolic status (metabolically-healthy (MH) vs. unhealthy (MU)). Epicardial adipose thickness (EAT) using echocardiography method. Speckle-tracking based atrio-ventricular (LA/LV) deformations including global longitudinal strain (GLS) and peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) were also analyzed. MUNW had higher cardiometabolic risks and more impaired diastolic and GLS/PALS than MHNW phenotype. Both MHO and MUO phenotypes exhibited worst atrial functions. Greater EAT was independently associated with worse GLS and PALS after correcting for various anthropometrics, LV mass and LA volume, respectively, with unfavorable LA effects from EAT being more pronounced in the NW phenotypes (both
