Usefulness of tissue Doppler echocardiography to predict perioperative cardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Guidelines have not recommended routine echocardiography to predict perioperative cardiac events (PCE). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of tissue Doppler echocardiography-derived E/E' for risk stratification before noncardiac surgery. We reviewed 445 consecutive patients with cardiovascular diseases who had undergone tissue Doppler echocardiography before noncardiac surgery. The revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) was assessed from clinical records. After excluding patients who could not have E/E' measurements, 200 patients were further analyzed. PCEs included death, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, heart failure and deferred surgery. Eleven patients developed PCEs. E/E' was significantly higher in patients with PCE (18.4 ± 5.8 vs. 12.2 ± 4.5, p < 0.0005). Multivariate analysis showed E/E' (odds ratio 1.2, p < 0.007) and RCRI (OR 4.8; 95%, p < 0.006) were independent predictors of PCE. E/E' appeared to be useful in perioperative risk stratification among patients with cardiovascular diseases undergoing noncardiac surgery.
