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

We assessed the Right Ventricular (RV) systolic function using two dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in Mitral valve disease before and after intervention. 90 patients divided into 3 groups of Mitral stenosis [MS], Mitral regurgitation [MR] and MS with MR were the study subjects. All the patients were subjected to conventional echocardiography and measurement of Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS). Prior to intervention, subjects who demonstrated normal RV function by conventional methods, it was found that RVGLS was impaired significantly in the MS and MS with MR groups but normal in the MR group. After intervention, the RVGLS improved significantly in the MS group but not in the other groups. Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) had a significant negative correlation to RVGLS in all 3 groups.
