The Impact of Age and Sex on Left Ventricular Function Based on Transthoracic Echocardiograms.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: This study aimed to reveal the age- and gender-related differences in left ventricular function among patients with normal cardiac structure. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 10,853 individuals with normal cardiac structures undergoing transthoracic echocardiography (2017-2020). We performed distribution analysis using kernel density estimation with Gaussian kernels and created smooth trajectories based on generalized additive models. Moreover, correlation analysis and multivariable regression were applied to evaluate the impact of age and gender on ventricular function. Results: A weak but statistically significant correlation was found between age and ejection fraction (B-coefficient = -0.077, Conclusion: This study provided the distribution of left ventricular systolic/diastolic function across age decades in males and females and highlighted the clinical importance of monitoring ventricular function even for patients with normal cardiac structure.
