Left Atrial Geometry and Phasic Function Determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Are Independent Predictors for Outcome in Non-Ischaemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Biomedicines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Left atrial (LA) geometry and phasic functions are frequently impaired in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately measure LA function and geometry parameters. We sought to investigate their prognostic role in patients with NIDCM. We prospectively examined 212 patients with NIDCM (49 ± 14.2-year-old; 73.5% males) and 106 healthy controls. LA volumes, phasic functions, geometry, and fibrosis were determined using CMR. A composite outcome (cardiac death, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, heart failure hospitalization) was ascertained over a median of 26 months. LA phasic functions, sphericity index (LASI) and late gadolinium enhancement (LA-LGE) were considerably impaired in the diseased group (
