Echocardiography in Athletes: the Ever-Evolving Assessment of Physiology Versus Pathology.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purpose of reviewThis review article summarizes the established physiologic adaptations seen on echocardiogram in athletes and provides a focus update and perspective on changing diagnostic criteria in several pathologies known to overlap with exercise induced cardiac remodeling. RECENT
findingsThere have been recent publications regarding improved diagnostic criteria for apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, shift towards "excessive trabeculations" rather than historically termed non-compaction, and expanding knowledge of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies. Exercise induced cardiac remodeling can be mistaken for these pathologies, among others. As the evaluation of cardiomyopathies changes with the growing understanding of the pathology, it is important that these updates are compared to the potential physiologic adaptation seen in athletic training. It is imperative for the practicing cardiologist to remain knowledgeable of these evolving guidelines.
