Myocardial performance index after surgical correction of ventricular septal defects.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe myocardial performance index (MPI) has been described as a non-invasive Doppler measurement of ventricular function. The aim of this study was to assess MPI following surgical correction of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and to evaluate its impact on postoperative recovery. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis is a prospective study involving 30 children (16 girls and 14 boys) operated on for VSD (group I). The control group (group II) consisted of 30 healthy children (age and sex matched).
resultsWe found that both the right and left ventricular (RV and LV) MPI correlated significantly with the ejection fraction (EF) (r = -0.49, p = 0.006, r = -0.51, p = 0.004, respectively). The LV EF and the LV FS were negatively correlated, while the left and right ventricular MPI was positively correlated with the: LVEDD (p = 0.000), the VSD size (p = 0.000), and the postoperative course of the patients in terms of the duration of ventilation (p = 0.000), the duration of use of inotropics (p = 0.000) and the duration of staying in the ICU (p = 0.000). By linear regression, the factors that correlated with the postoperative course of VSD surgery were the RV MPI pre-surgery, MPI 2 days after surgery and the ejection fraction (p = 0.000).
conclusionsMyocardial performance index is a useful index for measurement of the left and right ventricular function. It correlates significantly with the ejection fraction, fractional shortening, VSD size, and the left ventricular size. It also significantly predicts the outcome of VSD surgery.
