The feasibility of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion performed by transesophageal echocardiography throughout heart surgery and its interchangeability with transthoracic echocardiography.

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.

Abstract
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a robust measure of RV function, but the performance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) measured TAPSE during surgery is not well established. We aim to evaluate feasibility of various TEE views before, during and after surgery. Furthermore, we compare performance of individual TEE measurements depending on view and method (AMM- and M-mode as well as 2D) as well as TAPSE measured using TEE with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) TAPSE. The study was conducted from January 2015 through September 2016. In 47 patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction, TEE was prospectively performed during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. TAPSE and tricuspid annulus tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) were recorded in five different views at pre-specified time points during surgery. Data were analyzed for availability (obtainable/readable images) and reliability (intra-/inter-observer bias and precision). Finally, TEE TAPSE was compared to TTE TAPSE immediately before and after surgery. TAPSE and TDI with TEE was achievable in > 90% of patients in the transgastric view during surgery. The AM- and M-mode had the best reliability and the best correlation with TAPSE measured with TTE. The deep transgastric view was achievable in less than 50% after sternotomy, and TAPSE measured from 2D had a poorer performance compared to the AM- and M-mode. TDI demonstrated a high reliability throughout surgery. RV function can be evaluated by TAPSE and TDI using TEE during surgery. TEE values from the transgastric view demonstrated high performance throughout surgery and a good agreement with TTE TAPSE measurements.
