Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-derived septum swing index detects pulmonary hypertension: A diagnostic study.
Article in Journal of translational internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Background and Objectives: Because of pressure differences between the pulmonary artery and aorta, the ventricular septum moves in a swinging motion that is commonly observed on cardiac MR (CMR) cine sequences in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). We aimed to assess the use of septum swing index (SSI) derived by CMR for detecting PH. Methods: We retrospectively identified consecutive patients with suspected PH who underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) and CMR at a PH referral center between July 2019 and December 2020. The diagnostic accuracy of SSI for identifying PH (mean pulmonary artery pressure [mPAP] ≥ 25 mmHg) was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. Results: A total of 105 patients (mean age: 47.8 ± 15.0 years; 68 females) were included in the final analysis. SSI and mPAP were negatively correlated in the total study population and patients with PH, but not in patients without PH. SSI was an independent predictor of PH (adjusted odds ratio: 12.9, 95% confidence interval: 3.6 to 45.5, Conclusions: Septum swing index was lower in patients with PH and is a simple, reliable method for detecting PH.
