Impaired right atrial function preceding right ventricular systolic dysfunction: clinical utility and long-term prognostic value in pulmonary hypertension.

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
objectivesPulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) is associated with a poor prognosis. This study assessed the characteristics of right atrial (RA) function using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) before RVSD onset and evaluated the long-term prognostic significance of these characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 96 PH patients, including 36 without RVSD (PH-nonRVSD) and 60 with RVSD (PH-RVSD), were compared to 20 healthy controls (HCs). The RA reservoir, conduit, booster pump functions, and the right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) were evaluated. Ventricular morphological and functional parameters of the RA and right ventricle (RV) were also acquired.
resultsCompared with HCs, both RA reservoir and conduit functions were significantly reduced (p
conclusionsRA function can detect right heart dysfunction prior to RVSD and monitor disease progression in patients with PH. Moreover, RA reservoir function independently predicts long-term prognosis. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Impairment of right atrial (RA) function, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT), in pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients is sensitive in detecting right-sided heart dysfunction before right ventricular systolic dysfunction and can be utilized to monitor disease progression and long-term prognosis. KEY POINTS: RA function is sensitive in detecting early right heart dysfunction in PH patients. The disease progression of PH can be monitored by assessing RA function. RA function can serve as a tool for predicting long-term prognosis.
