Timing and magnitude of regional right ventricular function and their relationship with early hospital mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Article in Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveRight ventricular (RV) dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The aim of the present study was to assess the timing and magnitude of regional RV functions using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) and their relationship to early hospital mortality in patients with APE.
methodsOne hundred forty-two patients were prospectively studied at the onset of an acute episode and after a median follow-up period of 30 days. Their clinical and laboratory characteristics were recorded. For all patients, conventional two-dimensional echocardiography and STE were performed within 24 h after the diagnosis of APE.
resultsTwenty-eight (19.7%) patients died during the hospitalization follow-up. Patients who died during hospitalization were older and had higher high sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels, and a higher percentage of patients had simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Indexes. In STE analyses, they had lower RV free wall peak longitudinal systolic strain (PLSS) and higher RV peak systolic strain dispersion indexes. The time to PLSS difference between RV free wall and LV lateral was longer in patients who died during hospitalization than in those who survived, and this was an independent predictor of early hospital mortality with 85.7% sensitivity and 75.0% specificity in patients with APE.
conclusionAPE was associated with RV electromechanical delay and dispersion. Electromechanical delay index might be useful to predict early hospital mortality in patients with APE.
