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
Background: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a recently identified subtype of functional mitral regurgitation (MR), which necessitates a distinct therapeutic approach to that of traditional functional MR. However, diagnosing AFMR remains a complex challenge. Thus, this study aimed to establish a straightforward and effective method for the accurate diagnosis of AFMR using a nomogram. Methods: In total, 489 patients with clinically significant (moderate-to-severe or severe) functional MR who were admitted to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2020 to May 2023 were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomly divided into training and validation groups at a 7:3 ratio. The predictors for AFMR were screened out by uni- and multivariate logistic regression analyses, and a nomogram model was constructed. The model's predictive accuracy and discriminative capacity were subsequently assessed. Results: The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the following factors were independent predictors of AFMR: left atrial diameter (LAd) [odds ratio (OR): 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04-1.24, P=0.004], left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVDd) (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.65-0.82, P<0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.13-1.29, P<0.001), previous atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR: 9.34, 95% CI: 2.89-30.45, P<0.001), and myocardial infarction (MI) (OR: 0.04, 95% CI: 0.00-0.40, P=0.007). These factors were integrated into the diagnostic nomogram model. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the model were 0.993 and 0.979 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. Conclusions: This study developed a simple way to diagnose AFMR using a nomogram model that incorporated the LAd, LVDd, LVEF, AF, and MI. This model could help cardiologists in treatment determination and prognosis evaluation.
