Late Gadolinium Enhancement Variation in Asymptomatic Individuals: Comparison with Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Late gadolinium enhancements (LGEs) appear in asymptomatic individuals as septal stripes, which mimic abnormal LGEs in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We aimed to evaluate the frequency and extent of LGE variation in asymptomatic individuals and to compare it with those of DCM group. This retrospective study included asymptomatic and DCM groups who underwent CMR imaging. LGE was defined as a myocardial signal intensity higher than five standard-deviations of normal myocardium. LGE was evaluated in right ventricular insertion points (RVIPs) and mid-interventricular septum. A total of 273 asymptomatic individuals (age, 54.3 ± 5.8 years, 209 males) and 100 patients with DCM (age, 55.3 ± 4.9 years, 73 males) were included. LGE was observed in 99.3% of asymptomatic and 100% of DCM groups. The average number of myocardial segments with LGE was distinguishable between asymptomatic and DCM groups (5.5 ± 1.7 vs. 7.6 ± 2.2;
