Effects of obesity on left atrial phasic functions in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction without recent myocardial infarction: a two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography study.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2022. 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
purposeLeft atrial (LA) phasic functions in various subgroups of subjects with obesity are differently impaired, suggesting that obesity may have diverse effects in dissimilar subgroups of subjects with obesity. We aimed to compare the effects of obesity on LA phasic functions in patients suffering from chronic ischemic heart disease with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and without a recent myocardial infarction.
methodsIn our cross-sectional study, 145 consecutive candidates for isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were divided according to the presence of obesity into 2 groups: obese (36 patients) and nonobese (103 patients), and LA phasic functions were evaluated by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE).
resultsThe longitudinal strain rate during the reservoir phase (3.0 ± 0.7 s
conclusionsAmong patients suffering from chronic ischemic heart disease with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and without a recent myocardial infarction, LA reservoir and contraction functions as measured by 2D STE were impaired in patients with obesity compared with those without it.
