Feasibility study on evaluating right ventricular diastolic function by new Tei'-Index.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Doppler-derived myocardial performance index (Tei) has been used in the evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function. However, the usage in isolated diastolic dysfunction is limited.We sought to find a new Tei'-index that is more appropriate for evaluating isolated diastolic dysfunction (IDD) based on the symmetry of cardiac structure and function. Methods: 21 patients with impaired RV relaxation were compared to 44 control subjects. Tei and Tei' including their components, isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT), isovolumetric contraction time (ICT), the ejection time (ET), and RV rapid filling time (RFT) were measured from RV outflow and tricuspid inflow Doppler velocity profiles. Results: Tei-index have no change between IDD group and control subjects (0.21 ± 0.08 vs 0.23 ± 0.07 P[bond, double bond]NS). The Tei'-index was significantly shortened in IDD group(0.24 ± 0.09 vs 0.32 ± 0.12,p＜0.05).The decrease in Tei'-index was due to the prolongation of both IRT and RFT, and in the abbreviation of ICT. Tei'-index cutoff value of ≥0.31 identified impaired RV relaxation with a sensitivity of 50 % and specificity of 86 %.We also find that the Tei'-index correlated well with doppler measures of diastolic parameters like E/A, E/e', DT, which suggests its potential use as a noninvasive indicator of the right ventricular (RV) relaxation in patients with heart failure of different causes. Conclusion: New Tei's index is highly effective and specific in the evaluation of early diastolic dysfunction of right ventricle, and can be used as an indicator for the detection of IDD in clinic.
