Extent of Left Atrial Fibrosis Correlates with Descending Aorta Proximity at 3D Late Gadolinium Enhancement Cardiac MRI in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Purpose: To determine whether the distance between the descending aorta and left atrial (LA) wall correlates with the amount of fibrosis quantified in the posterior left inferior pulmonary vein (LIPV) area of the LA in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with AF underwent cardiac MRI in sinus rhythm prior to a pulmonary vein isolation procedure (July 2018 to February 2020). The mean distance (distance Results: A total of 47 (mean age, 60 years ± 8 [standard deviation]; 31 men) patients were included for analysis. The extent of fibrosis in the posterior LIPV area was correlated with the distance Conclusion: The distance between the descending aorta and LA was correlated with the extent of quantified fibrosis within the posterior LIPV area.
