Value of Left Atrial Strain in Predicting Recurrence after Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
This study tested the relationship between left atrial (LA) function parameters and the results of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Consecutive patients undergoing PVI for the first time between 2019 and 2021 were included. Patients underwent radiofrequency ablation using contact force catheters and an electroanatomical system. Follow-up consisted of ambulatory visits/televisits and 7-day Holter monitoring (at 6 and 12 months after ablation). On the day of ablation, all patients underwent transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography with LA strain analysis. The primary endpoint was atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence during the follow-up period. Of 221 patients, 22 did not meet the echocardiographic quality criteria, leaving 199 patients. The median follow-up period was 12 months, and 12 patients were lost to follow-up. Recurrences were observed in 67 patients (35.8%) after a mean of 1.06 procedures per patient. The patients were divided into a sinus rhythm (SR,
