1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim of our study was to evaluate right ventricular (RV) systolic function in neonate using newly developed single-beat three-dimensional echocardiography (sb3DE). We enrolled 15 healthy or premature neonates (0-53 days after birth). We scanned one beat full volume using Siemens ACUSON SC2000 (Siemens AG) echocardiography with 4Z1c full-volume transducer without ECG gating. RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) and RV end-systolic volume (RVESV) were computed with special software dedicated to analysis for RV volume. RV ejection fraction (RVEF) and RV stroke volume (3D-RVSV) were calculated. And RV stroke volume was also determined from the recordings of ejection blood flow velocity and diameter at the level of the pulmonary orifice in RV outflow tract (Doppler-RVSV). Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was also measured by 2D echocardiography. RVEDV ranged from 5.1 to 10.7 ml (average 7.5 ml), RVESV ranged from 2.3 to 5.8 ml (average 3.9 ml). There was a good correlation between 3D-RVSV and Doppler-RVSV (r = 0.77). Bland-Altman plot revealed that 3D-RVSV became underestimation of an average of 1.78 ml compared to Doppler-RVSV. And TAPSE positively correlated with 3D-RVEF (r = 0.58, P = 0.038). Newly developed sb3DE enables us to perform three-dimensional acquisition of RV volume without ECG gating even in neonate. However, 3D-RVSV currently tends to be underestimated in neonatal measurement.
