Sensitivity and Specificity of Pulmonary Artery Pressure Measurement in Echocardiography and Correlation with Right Heart Catheterization.

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
objectiveEchocardiography is helpful in assessment of pulmonary hemodynamic, however its correlation with Right heart catheterization (RHC) is conflicting. We conducted a study to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of pulmonary hemodynamic parameters measured in echocardiography. Furthermore its correlation with the values measured in RHC was assessed.
methodRetrospective, cross-sectional study conducted at King Fahad medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 95 adult patients referred for right heart catheterization were enrolled in the study. All the patients had echocardiography and RHC within one week of each other.
resultDiabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia were present among 55%, 66% and 41% of patients respectively. 85% of the study participants were diagnosed to have pulmonary hypertension and 79% of the study participants had postcapillary pulmonary hypertension. Sensitivity of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAPs), mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPm) using PAPs and pulmonary artery acceleration velocity (PAcT) were 86%, 93% and 89% respectively. Correlation of PAPs, PAPm using PAPs and PAcT on echo with invasive hemodynamic in RHC were 0.56, 0.43 and 0.24 respectively. Among patients with moderate to severe Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) <1.5cm correlation of PAPs, PAPm using PAPs and PAcT on echocardiography with right heart catheterization were 0.31, 0.24 and 0.42 respectively.
conclusionEchocardiographic assessment of PAPs and PAPm has high sensitivity and weak to moderate correlation with hemodynamic data in RHC. PAPs measurement on echocardiogram has best correlation with invasive measurement followed by PAPm measurement using PAPs. Among patients with moderate to severe TR and TAPSE <1.5cm PAPm measurement using PAcT has better correlation than using PAPs.
