A comparison of different techniques of two-dimensional speckle-tracking strain measurements of right ventricular systolic function in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular ultrasound, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSpeckle-tracking echocardiography has been applied to measure right ventricular (RV) systolic function in various diseases. However, variations in strain measurement by different vendors have limited the application of these techniques for assessment of RV function. We sought to compare two methods for the assessment of RV systolic function in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
methodsFrom August 2007 to May 2011, all consecutive PE patients were prospectively included in this cohort study. Global longitudinal strains of RV measured with EchoPAC PC software (GLSRV-EchoPAC; GE Medical Systems) and velocity vector imaging (GLSRV-VVI; Siemens Medical Systems) were recorded on the same set of echocardiographic images.
resultsWe analyzed a total of 50 patients (12 males, 68 ± 14 years) with acute PE in this study. GLSRV-EchoPAC and GLSRV-VVI were correlated (r = 0.793, p < 0.001) and they showed significant correlations with conventional echocardiographic parameters of RV systolic function and Log B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level. However, GLSRV-VVI only showed significant correlations with cardiac biomarkers as serum creatinine kinase-MB (r = 0.367, p = 0.010) and tropoinin-I concentrations (r = 0.294, p = 0.040).
conclusionGLSRV-VVI and GLSRV-EchoPAC showed significant correlations with conventional echocardiographic parameters of RV systolic function and LogBNP value in patients with PE.
