Predictive Role of Atrial Strain, Aortic Stiffness, and Muscle-Related Factors for Maximal and Submaximal Exercise Capacity in Fontan Patients.
Observational study in Pediatric cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fontan patients' exercise capacity and associated risks of morbidity and mortality necessitate a comprehensive study. We aim to explore maximal and submaximal exercise capacity, assessing the impact of cardiovascular and peripheral factors, including atrial strain, aortic stiffness, and muscle-related factors. Fontan patients and matched controls were examined. Clinical details were recorded, and atrial strain and aortic stiffness were measured using echocardiography. Hand grip and knee extensor strength were assessed, and muscle oxygenation was recorded. Cardiopulmonary exercise test determined exercise capacity, with peak oxygen uptake/kg (VO
