Simple prediction of right ventricular ejection fraction using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in pulmonary hypertension.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The present study examined whether tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) can simply predict right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The TAPSE cut-off value to predict reduced RVEF was also evaluated. The association between TAPSE and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI)-derived RVEF was examined in 53 PH patients. The accuracy of the prediction equation to calculate RVEF using TAPSE was also evaluated. In PH patients, TAPSE was strongly correlated with CMRI-derived RVEF in PH patients (r = 0.86, p < 0.0001). We then examined the accuracy of the two equations: the original regression equation (RVEF = 2.01 × TAPSE + 0.6) and the simplified prediction equation (RVEF = 2 × TAPSE). Bland-Altman plot showed that the mean difference ± limits of agreement was 0.0 ± 10.6 for the original equation and -0.6 ± 10.6 for the simplified equation. Intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.84 for the original and 0.82 for the simplified equation. Normal RVEF was considered to be ≥40% based on the data from 53 matched controls, and the best TAPSE cut-off value to determine reduced RVEF (<40%) was calculated to be 19.7 mm (sensitivity 88.9%, specificity 84.6%). A simple equation of RVEF = 2 × TAPSE enables easy prediction of RVEF using TAPSE, an easily measurable M-mode index of echocardiography. TAPSE of 19.7 mm predicts reduced RVEF in PH patients with clinically acceptable sensitivity and specificity.
