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: Since hyperthyroidism could be associated with right ventricular dysfunction, this study intended to investigate right ventricular (RV) function using strain echocardiography in hyperthyroid patients both at rest and in maximum-stress conditions. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Tehran, Iran, from January 2019 to January 2020. All study participants completed a maximum treadmill exercise test, as well as a complete two-dimensional echocardiogram at rest and the peak of stress test. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. The independent samples Results: The final analysis included 52 participants (26 subjects in each group). In a maximal stress situation, we found that among the RV function indices, RV global longitudinal strain (P=0.0001), systolic strain rate (P=0.0001), diastolic strain rate (P=0.0002), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (P=0.019) were reduced significantly in the hyperthyroid patients compared to the control group. There was also a linear correlation between RV size and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level (P=0.009, r=0.36). Moreover, we found a negative linear correlation between TSH level with maximum stress RV strain and diastolic strain rate (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed a significant change in RV function indices among hyperthyroid patients. Therefore, it highlights the necessity of early diagnosis and treatment of hyperthyroidism, as well as RV function evaluation in these patients.
