1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a common right ventricular (RV) function indicator. However, TAPSE was not decreased in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) because of its load, angle, and body weight dependency, and TAPSE was considered a preload-dependent index.

objectivesTo evaluate the utility of TAPSE normalized by RV size in dogs with postcapillary PH. ANIMALS: Twenty healthy dogs and 71 MMVD dogs with or without PH.

methodsIn this prospective observational study, end-diastolic RV internal dimension (RVIDd), end-diastolic and end-systolic RV area, and end-diastolic RV wall thickness were measured as RV size indices. The TAPSE was measured using B-mode and M-mode methods. Normalized TAPSE was calculated by dividing TAPSE by each RV size index. The RV strain was obtained as the detailed RV function using 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. All indices were compared among the PH severity groups and in the presence of right-sided congestive heart failure (R-CHF).

resultsAlthough nonnormalized TAPSE was higher with PH severity progression, each normalized TAPSE showed a significant decrease in the severe PH group (P < .05). The TAPSE CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Normalized TAPSE could reflect RV systolic dysfunction in dogs with severe PH, which could not be detected by nonnormalized TAPSE. The TAPSE
