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
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of conventional and two additional functional markers derived from standard cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images in detecting the occurrence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with secondary cardiac amyloidosis (CA) related to multiple myeloma (MM). This study retrospectively included 32 patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF) who had MM-CA diagnosed consecutively. Conventional left ventricular (LV) function markers and two additional functional markers, namely myocardial contraction fraction (MCF) and LV long-axis strain (LAS), were obtained using commercial cardiac post-processing software. Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were performed to evaluate the predictive performances. (1) There were no notable distinctions in clinical features between the LGE+ and LGE- groups, with the exception of a reduced systolic blood pressure in the former (105.60 ± 18.85 mmHg vs. 124.50 ± 20.95 mmHg, P = 0.022). (2) Patients with MM-CA presented with intractable heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The LVEF in the LGE+ group exhibited a greater reduction (54.27%, IQR 51.59-58.39%) in comparison to the LGE- group (P < 0.05). And MM-CA patients with LGE+ had significantly higher LVMI (90.15 ± 23.69 g/m
