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: The shape of the left ventricle (LV) is an important index to explore cardiac pathophysiology. A comparison was provided to estimate circumferential, longitudinal, and radial wall stress in LV based on the thick-walled ellipsoidal models of Mirsky and Ghista-Sandler for discriminating significant coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from no CAD patients. Materials and Methods: According to the angiography findings, 82 patients with CAD were divided into two groups: 25 patients without significant CAD and 57 patients with significant CAD of single vessel and multivessel. An ellipsoidal LV geometry was used to calculate end-systolic passive stress as the mechanical behavior of LV. Echocardiographic views-based measurements of LV diameters used to estimate the end-systolic wall stress. Results: Circumferential wall stress between the control group and significant CAD groups was significantly elevated for the Ghista model ( Conclusion: These results indicated that Ghista and Mirsky model estimates of circumferential passive stress were the potential biomechanical markers to predict patients with multi-vessel CAD. It could be a noninvasive and helpful tool to quantify the contractility of LV.
