Value of PTEN and Echocardiography in Predicting the Efficacy of Trimetazidine Combined with Metoprolol in the Treatment of Heart Failure.

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
objectiveTo investigate the predictive value of PTEN and echocardiography in the treatment of heart failure with trimetazidine combined with metoprolol.
methodsA total of 100 patients with coronary heart disease and HF who admitted to our hospital from August 2018 to August 2020 were enrolled into research. All patients received routine treatment according to the guidelines and were treated with trimetazidine and metoprolol for a total course of 6 months. Echocardiographic parameters and PTEN levels were measured at baseline and after treatment. The patients were divided into groups according to the quartile of basic PTEN level, and the total effective rates were compared. The echocardiographic parameters of patients with different prognosis were analyzed. Bivariate correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between PTEN, echocardiography and treatment effect.
resultsCompared with that before treatment, the level of PTEN increased significantly after treatment (P < 0.01). According to the quartile of basic PTEN level, the total effective rate of patients with different levels of basic PTEN was was statistically different (P < 0.01). There was a linear correlation between the level of basic PTEN and the treatment effect, and the total effective rate of patients with high level of basic PTEN was higher than that of patients with low level of PTEN. Compared with before treatment, LVEF, SV, E/A and lvfs increased significantly after treatment (P < 0.01). There was a correlation between the basic echocardiographic parameters and the treatment effect of patients. The basic echocardiographic parameters of patients with poor prognosis were worse than those with good prognosis. PTEN expression in patients' serum was only positively correlated with E/A, but not with LVFE, SV and LVFS (P < 0.01).
conclusionPTEN and echocardiographic parameters serve as a good method to evaluate the short-term therapeutic effect of trimetazidine combined with metoprolol in patients with heart failure.
