Relationship of TAPSE Normalized by Right Ventricular Area With Pulmonary Compliance, Exercise Capacity, and Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Circulation. Heart failure, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundWhile tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) captures the predominant longitudinal motion of the right ventricle (RV), it does not account for ventricular morphology and radial motion changes in various forms of pulmonary hypertension. This study aims to account for both longitudinal and radial motions by dividing TAPSE by RV area and to assess its clinical significance.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 71 subjects with New York Heart Association class II to III dyspnea who underwent echocardiogram and invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (which defined 4 hemodynamic groups: control, isolated postcapillary pulmonary hypertension, combined postcapillary pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary arterial hypertension). On the echocardiogram, TAPSE was divided by RV area in diastole (TAPSE/RVA-D) and systole (TAPSE/RVA-S). Analyses included correlations (Pearson and linear regression), receiver operating characteristic, and survival curves.
resultsOn linear regression analysis, TAPSE/RVA metrics (versus TAPSE) had a stronger correlation with pulmonary artery compliance (r=0.48-0.54 versus 0.38) and peak VO
conclusionsIn a broad cohort with suspected pulmonary hypertension, TAPSE divided by RV area was superior to TAPSE alone in correlations with pulmonary compliance and exercise capacity. As a prognostic marker of right heart function, TAPSE/RVA-D <1.1 and TAPSE/RVA-S <1.5 predicted adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
