1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aims: Left atrial (LA) and ventricular (LV) remodelling is thought to be balanced in healthy individuals, and the LA end-systolic volume (LAV) to LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) ratio (LA:LV) could help discriminate between pathological and physiological LA enlargement. We aimed to assess LA:LV and its associations with age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors HbA1C, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, and peak oxygen uptake (VO Methods and results: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and measurement of risk factors 10 years apart and echocardiography at follow-up was performed in 1348 healthy adults [52% women, mean (SD) age 59 (12) years] prospectively included in a large population study. All risk factors were significantly associated with LA:LV in univariate analyses, while BMI and VO Conclusion: A higher LA:LV was associated with, and may improve, assessment of diastolic dysfunction and filling pressures. The LA:LV differentiates VO
