Evaluation of left atrial and ventricular remodeling in atrial fibrillation subtype by using speckle tracking echocardiography.
Article 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 9 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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cardiac structural and functional remodeling. We investigated the left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) changes in AF subtypes by using two-dimensional echocardiography strain techniques. Methods: The study population consisted of 102 subjects with sinus rhythm (control group) and 463 patients with AF, among which 284 patients had paroxysmal AF (PAF) and 179 patients had persistent AF (PerAF). A speckle tracking automatic functional imaging software was used to perform the strain analysis. Results: Patients with AF had dilated LA maximum and minimum volume, decreased LA reservoir strain, lower LV ejection fraction (LVEF), and impaired global longitudinal strain (GLS) compared to those of the sinus rhythm control group. In patients with PerAF, the LA maximum and minimum volumes were larger, and the LA reservoir strain [PAF vs. PerAF, 28% (21,33) vs. 19% (14, 28), Conclusion: Compared with those with normal sinus rhythm, patients with AF had dilated LA volume and impaired LA function, which were further worsened in patients with PerAF than those in patients with PAF. LA functional impairment occurred before LA enlargement. Left atrioventricular remodeling happened across different stages of AF development.
