Going beyond Cardiomegaly: Evaluation of Cardiac Chamber Enlargement at Non-Electrocardiographically Gated Multidetector CT: Current Techniques, Limitations, and Clinical Implications.

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
Cardiac chamber enlargement is important in the prediction of morbidity and mortality for a multitude of cardiovascular processes. Although non-electrocardiographically (ECG) gated multidetector CT is a commonly used cross-sectional imaging modality to evaluate a litany of cardiothoracic processes, a standardized method for evaluating and reporting cardiac chamber size does not exist. This has led to heterogeneity in the reporting of cardiac enlargement at routine multidetector CT with most readers often using gestalt assessment and the term
