Isolated diastolic dysfunction--diagnostic value of tissue Doppler imaging, colour M-mode and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide.

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
introductionFor diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (DDF), measurement of relaxation velocity (V(R)) by tissue Doppler imaging (V(R)), flow propagation velocity of transmitral inflow (v(p)) as well as the measurement of serum levels of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) compete with the standard echocardiographic DDF-measures because of several disadvantages of the latter.
methodsWe examined the diagnostic value of method 1, 2 and NT-proBNP in 120 patients with echocardiographic-proven DDF and in 20 patients without. Patients were classified according to the DDF-stage by standard echocardiographic parameters (transmitral E/A-ratio, deceleration time, isovolumetric relaxation time) into stage I, II and III and furthermore subdivided by the presence of dyspnoea.
resultsV(R) and v(p) were significantly lower in patients with DDF than in patients without DDF, with no difference between the various DDF stages. Symptomatic patients showed a trend to a lower V(R). NT-proBNP was elevated in patients with DDF: Symptomatic patients with a DDF at stage I and patients with a DDF at stage II and III independent of the presence of symptoms had elevated NT-proBNP levels.
conclusionAll three methods tested identified patients with DDF. NT-proBNP and v(p) were able to discriminate between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
