1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The assessment of the left and right ventricular long axis function by Doppler echocardiography was started many years ago with the use of M-mode. Two-dimensional echocardiography was subsequently used to study the longitudinal function of the left ventricle. The studies of that era led to useful conclusions. However, tissue Doppler imaging, a relatively new echocardiographic technique, recently became the first choice for such an assessment. Moreover, the advances of tissue tracking and strain rate also have an important contribution. New studies were conducted and new data derived for left and right ventricular function in various cardiac diseases. The aim of this review was to present the accumulated knowledge of the Doppler echocardiography study of the left ventricular long axis function and the relevant clinical implications.
