Predominant atrial remodeling in elite endurance athletes: a rare and un-investigated type of athlete's heart?
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Although athlete's heart is typically characterized by balanced enlargement of all cardiac chambers, previous investigations have placed relatively little focus on specific characteristics of atrial remodeling. The aim of our study is to describe cardiac remodeling in a cohort of elite endurance athletes, with a specific focus on atrial remodeling. Endurance athletes with unremarkable cardiovascular pre-participation screening test results underwent thorough multidisciplinary cardiovascular evaluation, which included transthoracic echocardiography. Atrial remodeling was defined as LAVi > 34 mL/m
