Diagnostic role of echocardiography for patients with heart failure symptoms and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.
Review in Herz, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The syndrome heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents patients with different comorbidities and specific etiologies, but with a key and common alteration: an elevation in left ventricular (LV) filling pressure or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). Expert consensuses, society guidelines, and diagnostic scores have been stated to diagnose HFpEF syndrome based mainly on the determination of elevated LV filling pressure or PCWP by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Echocardiographic parameters such as early (E) and late diastolic mitral inflow velocity (mitral E/A ratio), septal and lateral mitral annular early diastolic velocity (E'), ratio of the early diastolic mitral inflow and annular velocity (E/E'-ratio), maximal left atrial volume index (LAVI
