Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/mitral annular plane systolic excursion ratio in critically ill patients: an index of right- and left-ventricular function mismatch and a risk factor for cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore whether the tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE)/mitral annular systolic excursion (MAPSE) ratio was associated with the occurrence of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) in critically ill patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a prospective observational study conducted in a tertiary hospital. Adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit who were on mechanical ventilation or in need of oxygen therapy were prospectively screened for enrolment. The diagnosis of CPE was determined based on lung ultrasound and echocardiography findings. TAPSE ≥ 17 mm and MAPSE ≥ 11 mm were used as normal references.
resultsAmong the 290 patients enrolled in this study, 86 had CPE. In the logistic regression analysis, the TASPE/MAPSE ratio was independently associated with the occurrence of CPE (odds ratio 4.855, 95% CI: 2.215-10.641, p < 0.001). The patients' heart function could be categorized into four types: normal TAPSE in combination with normal MAPSE (TAPSE↑/MAPSE↑) (n = 157), abnormal TAPSE in combination with abnormal MAPSE (TAPSE↓/MAPSE↓) (n = 40), abnormal TAPSE in combination with normal MAPSE (TAPSE↓/MAPSE↑) (n = 50) and normal TAPSE in combination with abnormal MAPSE (TAPSE↑/MAPSE↓) (n = 43). The prevalence of CPE in patients with TAPSE↑/MAPSE↓ (86.0%) was significantly higher than that in patients with TAPSE↑/MAPSE↑ (15.3%), TAPSE↓/MAPSE↓ (37.5%), or TAPSE↓/MAPSE↑ (20.0%) (p < 0.001). The ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve for the TAPSE/MAPSE ratio was 0.761 (95% CI: 0.698-0.824, p < 0.001). A TAPSE/MAPSE ratio of 1.7 allowed the identification of patients at risk of CPE with a sensitivity of 62.8%, a specificity of 77.9%, a positive predictive value of 54.7% and a negative predictive value of 83.3%.
conclusionsThe TAPSE/MAPSE ratio can be used to identify critically ill patients at higher risk of CPE.
