Impact of overweight and obesity on left ventricular diastolic function and value of tissue Doppler echocardiography.
Article in Clinical Medicine Insights. Cardiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundDiastolic dysfunction is a common cause of heart failure with preserved systolic function in obese patients.
objectiveTo assess diastolic function in a series of overweight and obese patients using conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography. SETTING AND
methodUniversity hospital; left ventricular diastolic function was evaluated in 99 patients (mean age 61.59 ± 13.9 years); body mass index and waist circumference were assessed, and patients were subdivided into three groups according to their body mass index (kg/m(2)): [normal, (18.5-24.9); overweight, (25-29.9); obese, (>29.9)]. Peak early (E) and late (A) transmitral flow and peak early (E') diastolic mitral annulus velocities were measured.
resultsDiastolic dysfunction was significantly higher in the overweight/obese groups compared to the normal body mass index group. The analysis was made with regard to waist circumference and other clinical characteristics, and multivariate regression analysis showed a direct and independent effect of body mass index on diastolic function [OR: 2.75; CI: 1.34-5.67; P = 0.006]. Discussion was made in view of the latest clinical data. Also, an insight into normal weight obesity is presented and discussed.
conclusionOverweight and obesity are found to have an independent negative impact on diastolic function as assessed by tissue Doppler imaging.
