Imaging Techniques for the Study of Fibrosis in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutical Perspectives.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent form of cardiac arrhythmia. It is often related to diverse pathological conditions affecting the atria and leading to remodeling processes including collagen accumulation, fatty infiltration, and amyloid deposition. All these events generate atrial fibrosis, which contribute to beget AF. In this scenario, cardiac imaging appears as a promising noninvasive tool for monitoring the presence and degree of LA fibrosis and remodeling. The aim of this review is to comprehensively examine the bench mechanisms of atrial fibrosis moving, then to describe the principal imaging techniques that characterize it, such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and multidetector cardiac computed tomography (MDCT), in order to tailor atrial fibrillation ablation to each individual.
