A Comprehensive Functional Analysis in Patients after Atrial Switch Surgery.

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
backgroundLong-term course after atrial switch operation is determined by increasing right ventricular (RV) insufficiency. The aim of our study was to investigate subtle functional parameters by invasive measurements with conductance technique and noninvasive examinations with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
methodsWe used invasive (pressure-volume loops under baseline conditions and dobutamine) and noninvasive techniques (CMR with feature tracking [FT] method) to evaluate RV function. All patients had cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
resultsFrom 2011 to 2013, 16 patients aged 28.2 ± 7.3 (22-50) years after atrial switch surgery (87.5% Senning and 12.5% Mustard) were enrolled in this prospective study. All patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I to II and presented mean peak oxygen consumption of 30.1 ± 5.7 (22.7-45.5) mL/kg/min. CMR-derived end-diastolic volume was 110 ± 22 (78-156) mL/m
conclusionsFunctional assessment of a deteriorating systemic RV remains demanding. Conductance indices as well as the CMR-derived strain parameters showed overall reduced values, but a significant relationship was not present (including CPET). Our conductance analysis revealed intraventricular and predominantly diastolic RV dyssynchrony.
