Prognostic Role of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Measured by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Septic Shock.
Observational study in BioMed research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundLeft ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is common in septic shock. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a useful marker of intrinsic left ventricular systolic function. However, the association between left ventricular GLS and outcome in septic patients is not well understood. We performed this prospective study to investigate the prognostic value of LV systolic function utilizing speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with septic shock.
methodsAll the patients with septic shock based on sepsis-3 definition admitted to the intensive care unit were prospectively studied with STE within 24 hours after the onset of septic shock. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables were collected. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
resultsDuring a 19-month period, 90 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. The in-hospital mortality rate was 43.3%. Compared with survivors, nonsurvivors exhibited significantly less negative GLS (-13.1 ± 3.3% versus -15.8 ± 2.9%;
conclusionsOur study indicated that LV systolic function measured by STE might be associated with mortality in patients with septic shock.
