Determination of reference values for tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in healthy Turkish children.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2016. 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
objectiveTricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is an echocardiographic measurement used for evaluating right ventricular systolic function. While established reference values of TAPSE exist for the adult population, only a limited number of studies have attempted to evaluate reference values for the pediatric population. The aim of the present study was to determine the reference values for TAPSE in healthy children in Turkey.
methodsA total of 765 healthy children aged between 0 and 18 years, all of whom were referred to our clinic with cardiac murmurs, were evaluated prospectively. Patients with no cardiac pathologies or other disorders were excluded from the study. The measurement of TAPSE was obtained using a 2D-guided M-mode technique with echocardiography, and the relationship between age and surface area with TAPSE was investigated. The statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS 20.0 software package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA, 2012).
resultsThe mean TAPSE value was found to be 19.56±5.54 mm, and no significant difference was identified between male and female children. TAPSE values showed a positive correlation with increasing age and surface area. The mean TAPSE value was 9.09±1.36 mm in newborns and 25.91±3.60 mm in the 13-18 years age group. A negative correlation was seen between TAPSE and heart rate.
conclusionIn the present study, the reference values for TAPSE in healthy Turkish children were presented in percentile tables and the corresponding z-scores were determined. These reference values may be useful in daily practice for the evaluation of right ventricular systolic function in children.
