The impact of right ventricular function assessed by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography on early mortality in patients with inferior myocardial infarction.

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
backgroundRight ventricular (RV) involvement in inferior myocardial infarction (MI) increases in-hospital morbidity and mortality. HYPOTHESIS: RV systolic dysfunction assessed by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) might be a predictor of early mortality in patients with acute inferior MI.
methodsEighty-one consecutive patients with acute inferior MI (mean age, 60.8 ± 12.7 years; 18 females) were included. RV myocardial involvement was defined as an elevation >1 mm in V
resultsThirty-eight patients had RV myocardial involvement, and they had significantly lower tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), tricuspid annular systolic velocity (RVS), and left ventricular (LV) and RV global longitudinal strain (GLS). Nine patients (11%) died within 30 days. The mean age of mortality group was higher with more female frequency. They had significantly higher pro-BNP, hs-troponin T, and creatinine levels, but lower hemoglobin levels. TIMI 3 flow was significantly less achieved in mortality group. RV myocardial involvement was more frequent in the mortality group, and they had significantly lower TAPSE, RVS, and LV and RV GLS. Multivariate analysis revealed that age and RV GLS were independent predictors of early mortality. RV GLS ≤ -14% predicted early mortality in patients with acute inferior MI with a sensitivity of 88.9% and a specificity of 62.5% (AUC: 0.817, P = 0.002).
conclusionsRV GLS may be useful in predicting early mortality in patients with acute inferior MI.
