Role of Electromechanical Dyssynchrony Assessment During Acute Circulatory Failure and Its Relation to Ventriculo-Arterial Coupling.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Two parallel paradigms of cardiovascular efficiency and haemodynamic optimisation coexist in haemodynamic research. Targeting ventriculo-arterial (VA) coupling [i.e., the ratio between arterial and ventricular elastance (E Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected observational database from one tertiary center ICU. We analyzed the relationship between electromechanical dyssynchrony and acute circulatory failure hemodynamics before and after treatment (i.e., fluid expansion, dobutamine, or norepinephrine infusion). The relationship between electromechanical coupling and VA coupling was also investigated. Adult patients with haemodynamic instability were included. Haemodynamic parameters, including arterial pressure, cardiac index, VA coupling, stroke work index/pressure-volume area (SWI/PVA), t-IVT, and Tei's index, were collected before and after treatment. A t-IVT of >12 s/min was classified as intraventricular dyssynchrony. Results: We included 54 patients; 39 (72.2%) were classified as having intraventricular dyssynchrony at baseline. These patients with baseline dyssynchrony showed a statistically significant amelioration of t-IVT (from 18 ± 4 s to 14 ± 6 s, Conclusion: Acute circulatory failure is associated with electromechanical dyssynchrony. Cardiac electromechanical coupling was improved by haemodynamic treatment only if altered at baseline. The improvement of cardiac electromechanical coupling was associated with the improvement of markers of cardiocirculatory efficacy and efficiency (i.e., SWI/PVA and VA coupling). This study was the first to demonstrate a possible link between cardiac electromechanical coupling and VA coupling in patients with acute circulatory failure.
