Assessing right atrial size in patients with tricuspid regurgitation: importance of the right ventricular-focused view.
Article in European heart journal. Cardiovascular Imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimsTo assess the accuracy of measuring the right atrial volume (RAV) using two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) in a right ventricular focused (RVF) view compared to the conventional apical four-chamber (4Ch) view in patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR). We also compared the clinical correlates of the measures obtained using different methods. METHODS AND
resultsThe accuracy of RAV measurements obtained between 2DE-4Ch and RVF views in 384 patients with STR were compared using three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) as a reference. We used the analysis of variance to test the differences among RAVs obtained from the different 2DE and 3DE acquisitions and the receiving operating characteristics (ROC) curves to evaluate the association with the composite endpoint of hospitalization for heart failure or death. Compared to 3DE, RAV was significantly more underestimated when measurements were obtained from 4Ch rather than RVF (-24 vs. -14%, respectively, P < 0.001 for both). RAV underestimation in 4Ch and RVF view was relatively larger in lower grades of STR (-28 vs. -17% in mild, -23 vs. -14% in moderate, and -19 vs. -11% in severe STR, P = 0.001), and in the atrial compared to ventricular (-28 vs. -22%; P = 0.002) STR. RAV measured by 3DE and RVF showed the highest area under the curve (AUC = 0.67 for 3DE vs. 0.64 for RVF, P = 0.05), while 4Ch was significantly less related to the outcomes (AUC: 0.61, P = 0.021 vs. 3DE RAV).
conclusionIn patients with STR, the use of RVF view improved the accuracy of 2DE RAV measurement as compared to the conventional 4Ch-derived measurements.
