Analysis of left ventricular function, left ventricular outflow tract and aortic valve area using computed tomography: Influence of reconstruction parameters on measurement accuracy.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesComputed tomography (CT) allows reproducible assessment of left ventricular (LV) function, left ventricular outflow tract area (LVOT
methodsWe analyzed 45 contrast-enhanced, retrospectively ECG-gated CT datasets acquired on a third-generation dual source system. A standard filtered-back-projection data set (20 cardiac phases (5% steps, 0-95%), 0.6-mm-slice thickness, 512 × 512 matrix) and eight reconstructions with modified slice thickness (1-8 mm), number of cardiac phases (5, 10), matrix size (256×256) and an iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithm were obtained. LV parameters (ejection fraction (EF), stroke volume (SV), end-diastolic (EDV), end-systolic volumes (ESV)), LVOT
resultsDifferences in LV parameters, LVOT
conclusionsModifications of reconstruction parameters (except a slice thickness ≤2 mm) have only a marginal effect on LV, LVOT ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Substantial modifications in number of reconstructions per cardiac cycle significantly affect the assessment of LV function, LVOT
