Atrial cardiomyopathy: Current and future imaging methods for assessment of atrial structure and function.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Changes in atrial size and function have historically been considered a surrogate marker of ventricular dysfunction. However, it is now recognized that atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) may also occur as a primary myocardial disorder. Emerging evidence that ACM is a major risk factor for atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and thromboembolic stroke, has highlighted the significance of this disorder and the need for better assessment of atrial metrics in clinical practice. Key barriers in this regard include a lack of standardized criteria or hierarchy for the diagnosis of ACM and lack of consensus for the most accurate phenotyping methods. In this article we review existing literature on ACM, with a focus on current and future non-invasive imaging methods for detecting abnormalities of atrial structure and function. We discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for assessing a range of parameters, including atrial size and contractile function, strain, tissue characteristics, and epicardial adipose tissue. We will also present the potential application of novel imaging methods such as sphericity index and four- or five-dimensional flow.
