Assessment of the Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Its Association with the Left Atrial Pressure in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.
Article in International journal of heart failure, 2020. 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
Background and Objectives: The evaluation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the diagnostic algorithm for LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in the current guidelines and to evaluate the association between increased left atrial pressure (LAP) and LV diastolic parameters. Methods: One hundred and twenty-four patients with non-valvular AF and a preserved LV ejection fraction who had the same rhythm status on echocardiography and LAP measurements during catheter ablation were included. LV diastolic function was classified as normal, indeterminate, or LVDD according to the recent guidelines. Increased LAP was defined as mean LAP (mLAP) ≥15 mmHg. Results: The mLAP was not different among the normal, indeterminate, and LVDD groups. However, the prevalence of increased LAP was higher in the LVDD group. Among the LV diastolic parameters, only medial E/e' was independently associated with mLAP in the whole study population. In patients with persistent AF (PeAF), E/e' and e' were significantly associated with mLAP, whereas in paroxysmal AF (PAF), mLAP was not associated with the LV diastolic parameters but with left atrial conduit function. Conclusions: In general, increased LAP is known to be closely related with LVDD. However, the algorithm for LVDD from recent guidelines does not reflect well the increased LAP in AF patients. The diastolic parameters may aid in estimating the increased LAP in PeAF but may only have limited value for assessing increased LAP in PAF.
