Change in Systemic Arterial Pulsatility Index (SAPi) during Heart Failure Hospitalization is Associated with Improved Outcomes.
Article in American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice, 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
Study Objective: To identify Change in Systemic Arterial Pulsatitlity index (ΔSAPi) as a novel hemodynamic marker associated with outcomes in heart failure (HF). Design: The ESCAPE trial was a randomized controlled trial. Setting: The ESCAPE trial was conducted at 26 sites. Participants: 134 patients were analyzed (mean age 56.8 ± 13.4 years, 29% female). Interventions: We evaluated the change in SAPi, ([systemic pulse pressure/pulmonary artery wedge pressure) obtained at baseline and at the final hemodynamic measurement in the ESCAPE trial. Main Outcome Measures: Change in SAPi, (ΔSAPi), was analyzed for the primary outcomes of death, heart transplant, left ventricular assist device (DTxLVAD) or hospitalization, (DTxLVADHF) and secondary outcome of DTxLVAD using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Median change in SAPi was 0.81 (IQR 0.20-1.68). ΔSAPi in uppermost quartile was associated with reductions in DTxLVADHF (HR 0.55 [95% CI 0.32, 0.93]). ΔSAPi in the uppermost and lowermost quartiles combined was similarly associated with significant reductions in DTxLVADHF (HR 0.62 [95% CI 0.41, 0.94]). ΔSAPi higher than 1.17 was associated with improved DTxLVADHF. ΔSAPi was also associated with troponin levels at discharge (regression coefficient p = 0.001) and trended with 6-minute walk at discharge (Spearman correlation r = 0.179, p = 0.058). Conclusion: ΔSAPi was strongly associated with improved HF clinical profile and adverse outcomes. These findings support further exploration of Δ SAPi in the risk stratification of HF.
