Myocardial Deformation in Fontan Patients Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking: Correlation with Function, Clinical Course, and Biomarkers.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 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
Cardiac MR (CMR) is a standard modality for assessing ventricular function of single ventricles. CMR feature-tracking (CMR-FT) is a novel application enabling strain measurement on cine MR images and is used in patients with congenital heart diseases. We sought to assess the feasibility of CMR-FT in Fontan patients and analyze the correlation between CMR-FT strain values and conventional CMR volumetric parameters, clinical findings, and biomarkers. Global circumferential (GCS) and longitudinal (GLS) strain were retrospectively measured by CMR-FT on Steady-State Free Precession cine images. Data regarding post-operative course at Fontan operation, and medication, exercise capacity, invasive hemodynamics, and blood biomarkers at a time interval ± 6 months from CMR were collected. Forty-seven patients underwent CMR 11 ± 6 years after the Fontan operation; age at CMR was 15 ± 7 years. End-diastolic volume (EDV) of the SV was 93 ± 37 ml/m
