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 AND
aimsUnlike systolic heart function, the assessment of diastolic heart function is often demanding using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. This study aims to assess the value of semi-automatic CMR-derived biplane functional parameters in patients with cardiac light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
methodsThis retrospective, multi-center, multi-vendor study included patients with a diagnosis of HCM or cardiac AL/ATTR amyloidosis. Proven healthy volunteers served as controls. CMRs were assessed semi-automatically to derive atrial functional parameters (volume, long axis strain, ejection fraction [EF] of both atria) and left and right atrioventricular coupling index (LACI, RACI). Subsequently, group differences after adjustment for age, sex, left ventricular (LV) EF, body mass index and presence of atrial fibrillation as well as their correlation with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class were calculated.
resultsA total of 400 participants were included (94 HCM, 95 AL, 116 ATTR, 95 controls; mean age 58 ± 15 years, 67% male (269/400)). Semi-automated analysis was feasible in all cases (median duration 34 s) with excellent reproducibility. Compared with controls, patients revealed markedly higher LACI values (40.1% vs. 15.2%, p<0.001) and impaired LA function (EF 34.3% vs. 65.2%, strain 11.5% vs. 41.5%, both p<0.001). RACI and RA function, however, distinguished disease groups: RA indices were preserved in HCM but significantly impaired in amyloidosis (RACI 41.8% vs. 20.4%; RA EF 28.8% vs. 52.5%; RA strain 12.3% vs. 34.4%, p<0.001 for all). After adjustment, both LA volume and LACI showed independent associations with NYHA class and NT-proBNP, with LACI demonstrating the strongest correlations and outperforming LVEF.
conclusionsSemi-automated biplane CMR enables fast and reproducible assessment of atrial function. Combined analysis of LACI and RACI provides clinically relevant diagnostic differentiation between HCM and cardiac amyloidosis and correlates with patient symptom burden more accurately than LVEF.
