Echocardiographic Assessment of Right Ventricular Function in Paediatric Heart Disease: A Practical Clinical Approach.
Review in CJC pediatric and congenital heart disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 22 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
As the right ventricle (RV) plays an integral role in different paediatric heart diseases, the accurate assessment of RV size and function is essential in the diagnosis, management, and prognostication of congenital and acquired cardiac lesions. Yet, echocardiographic evaluation of the RV is challenging because of its complex and variable morphology, its different physiology compared with the left ventricle, and its capability to adapt to different loading conditions associated with congenital and acquired heart diseases within certain ranges. Reliable echocardiographic detection of RV systolic and diastolic dysfunction remains challenging while important for patient management. This review provides an updated, practical approach to assessing RV function in structurally normal hearts and in children with common congenital heart defects and in those with pulmonary hypertension. We also review the impact of tricuspid valve function on RV functional parameters. There is no single functional RV parameter that uniquely describes RV function; instead a combination of different parameters is recommended in clinical practice. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of RV function will be reviewed including more recent techniques such as speckle tracking and 3D echocardiography.
