1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe tricuspid valve is an atrioventricular valve located on the right side of the heart, which consists of the fibrous tricuspid annulus (TA), three valvular leaflets and a supporting apparatus, the papillary muscles and the tendinous chords. The TA is an oval-shaped three-dimensional (3D) fibrous structure with a complex spatial movement during the cardiac cycle. Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) could help during "en-face" assessment of TA dimensions and related functional properties featuring its "sphincter-like" function. TA plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a displacement of the lateral edge of the TA toward the apex in systole measured in apical long-axis using M-mode echocardiography (MME). The aim of this study was to determine potential relationships between TA size and its "sphincter-like" and "longitudinal" functions in healthy adults with no functional tricuspid regurgitation.

methodsThe present study consisted of 119 healthy patients (age: 34.6 ± 11.5 years, 70 men) who underwent routine echocardiography with M-mode-derived TAPSE measurement and 3DE. Two subgroups of healthy subjects were compared with each other. A total of 29 subjects with TAPSE between 17 and 21 mm were compared with 90 cases with TAPSE ≥ 22 mm.

resultsSubjects with TAPSE of 17-21 mm had tendentiously dilated TA dimensions compared with subjects with TAPSE ≥ 22 mm. Significant differences could be detected in the end-systolic TA area (5.85 ± 1.90 cm

conclusionsThree-dimensional echocardiography is capable of measuring TA dimensions and functional "sphincter-like" properties, which are associated with MME-derived TAPSE, suggesting a sensitive and harmonic TA function in healthy adults without functional tricuspid regurgitation.
