Noninvasive assessment of left-ventricular diastolic electromechanical coupling in hypertensive heart disease.
Article in Journal of echocardiography, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere is a need to stratify patients who may develop heart failure because of the current "heart failure pandemic". We hypothesized that noninvasive assessment of diastolic electromechanical coupling by electrocardiography and Doppler echocardiography may be clinically useful for risk stratification of hypertensive patients who may develop heart failure.
methodsWe measured the time from the peak to end of the T wave (TpTe) as an electrophysiological parameter, and peak early diastolic mitral flow (E) and lateral annular (e') velocities as mechanical parameters in 109 patients with hypertension. Relationships between these parameters and their association with the prognosis were evaluated.
resultsThe e' was inversely correlated with TpTe (p < 0.001) and QTc (p < 0.014), whereas E/e' was positively correlated with TpTe (p < 0.001) and QTc (p < 0.001). The TpTe predicted patients with E/e' > 12. There were 24 cardiovascular events during follow-up (57 ± 20 months), and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that outcome was worse (p = 0.003) in patients with higher E/e' than lower E/e'; however, there was no difference between patients with longer TpTe (≧72 ms) and shorter TpTe (< 72 ms).
conclusionThe correlation of TpTe with e' and E/e' in hypertensive patients suggests that these parameters reflect diastolic ventricular electromechanical coupling. The E/e' predicted outcome, and an elevated E/e' should be suspected when TpTe is prolonged (> 72 ms). Noninvasive evaluation of diastolic electromechanical coupling is clinically useful in patients with hypertension for predicting their outcome.
