Subcostal TAPSE: a retrospective analysis of a novel right ventricle function assessment method from the subcostal position in patients with sepsis.
Article in The ultrasound journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04580030 (Tricuapid Annular Plane Sistolic Excursion Before General Anesthesia Can Predict Hypotension After Induction), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundTricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is frequently used as an objective measure of right-ventricular dysfunction. Abnormal TAPSE values are associated with poor prognosis in a number of disease states; however, the measure is not always easy to obtain in the critically ill. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and accuracy of using a subcostal view and TAPSE measurement as a measure of right-ventricular dysfunction. A secondary aim was to perform a pilot study to assess whether right-ventricular dysfunction was associated with adverse outcomes including mortality.
resultsSubcostal TAPSE corresponds well with TAPSE obtained from the apical window at low and moderate TAPSE values (mean difference 1.2 mm (CI 0.04-2.36; 100% data pairs < 3-mm difference for TAPSE < 19 mm; 92% had < 3 mm difference at TAPDE < 24 mm). Subcostal TAPSE is able to accurately discriminate between abnormal and normal TAPSE results (sensitivity 97.8%, specificity 87.5%). There was no association between right-ventricular (RV) dysfunction and 90-day mortality.
conclusionsSubcostal TAPSE is a feasible and accurate alternative to conventional TAPSE from the apical view in critically ill patients. Further research is required to elucidate the relationship between RV dysfunction and outcomes in sepsis.
