Measures of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness According to Glucose Metabolism Status: The Maastricht Study.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background This cross-sectional study evaluated associations between structural and functional measures of left ventricular diastolic function and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in a well-characterized population-based cohort stratified according to glucose metabolism status. Methods and Results Six hundred seventy-two participants from The Maastricht Study (mean±SD age, 61±9 years; 17.4% prediabetes and 25.4% type 2 diabetes mellitus) underwent both echocardiography to determine left atrial volume index, left ventricular mass index, maximum tricuspid flow regurgitation, average e' and E/e' ratio; and submaximal cycle ergometer test to determine CRF as maximum power output per kilogram body mass. Associations were examined with linear regression adjusted for cardiovascular risk and lifestyle factors, and interaction terms. After adjustment, in normal glucose metabolism but not (pre)diabetes, higher left atrial volume index (per 1 mL/m
