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
In repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), RV replacement fibrosis is a predictor of hard events, but diastolic dysfunction, which should be related to ventricular fibrosis, is not part of the management process. 4D flow MRI may provide new insights about ventricular filling in repaired TOF. This study evaluates the relationship between RV and LV diastolic function and indicators of hemodynamic, exercise function and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in adults with repaired TOF. 41 TOF patients (22 male, mean age 38 ± 11 y) were retrospectively studied and compared with 21 controls. Early peak filling rate (PFR), atrial peak filling rate (PAFR) and filling volume (FV) were extracted from 4D flow for right (RV) and left (LV) ventricles. For the RV both tricuspid inflow and the whole RV filling (summing tricuspid inflow, and pulmonary regurgitation) were considered. Mitral and RV PFR/PAFR were significantly higher in TOF than in controls (2.59 [1.62-3.86] vs. 1.52 [1.20-2.07]; p < 0,001 and 2.06 [1.38-3.53] vs. 1.2 [0.88-1.53]; p < 0.001). Mitral PFR/PAFR ratio was decreased in patient with VO2 peak < 23 mL.kg.min (3.28[2.40-3.88] vs. 1.75 [1.18-3.07,p = 0.027). RV PFR/PAFR was decreased in patient with severe junctional LGE (PFR/PAFR of 2.61 [2.11-3.75 vs. 2.19 [1.62-3.7] vs. 1.33 [1.02-1.67], in none to minimal, mild to moderate and severe LGE groups respectively, p = 0.011). LV diastolic function was impaired in case of decreased exercise performance and RV impaired relaxation was more prevalent in case of junctional LGE.
