Diastolic function measurements and diagnostic consequences: a comparison of pulsed wave- and color-coded tissue Doppler imaging.

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
introductionTissue Doppler imaging (TDI) plays an important role in assessing diastolic function using echocardiography. However, two different methods [pulsed wave (PW-TDI) and color-coded (CC-TDI)] are currently used. We aimed to compare both measurements.
methodsWe included 114 patients that were referred to our echocardiography department for evaluation of diastolic left ventricular function. In these patients, we sequentially measured tissue velocities of basal lateral and septal myocardium of the left ventricle in an apical four-chamber view with both PW-TDI and CC-TDI.
resultsOur cohort consisted of a heterogeneous group of patients with and without a history of cardiac disease. Mean age of the patients was 52 +/- 16.7 years, and 62% were males. We found a strong correlation between PW-TDI- and CC-TDI-derived myocardial velocities (r = 0.93; p = 0.001). However, E' (mean of lateral and septal) velocities measured with PW-TDI were consistently higher compared to CC-TDI values [PW-TDI E' 10.3 +/- 3.9 (SD) cm/s vs. CC-TDI E' 7.7 +/- 3.1 cm/s; p < 0.001]. From these data, we calculated that the relation between E' measured with PW-TDI and CC-TDI can be described as: E' (PW-TDI) = 1.25 + 1.17 x E' (CC-TDI). Consequently, E/E' measured with PW-TDI was consistently lower compared with CC-TDI (9.1 +/- 3.1 vs. 12.5 +/- 5.7; p < 0.001) From these data, we calculated that the relation between E/E' measured with PW-TDI and CC-TDI can be described as: E/E' (PW-TDI) = 2.13 + 0.56 x E/E' (CC-TDI).
conclusionsDespite a strong correlation, tissue velocities measured with PW-TDI will yield higher values as compared with CC-TDI. This should be taken into account when defining cut-off values for the evaluation of diastolic function.
