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

Background: Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a critical global health concern, usually assessed using parameters such as global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) by Simpson's method. However, these methods can be resource-intensive and reliant on high-quality imaging. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) offers a simpler, more accessible bedside alternative for evaluating LV function. Objective: This study explored how MAPSE correlates with key echocardiographic parameters, such as GLS and LVEF, to establish its role as a practical and reliable tool for assessing LV systolic longitudinal function. Methods: We conducted a single-center cross-sectional study with 80 patients diagnosed with LV dysfunction (LVEF <50%). Echocardiographic assessments measured were MAPSE, GLS, and LVEF. Statistical analyses examined the relationships between these parameters. Results: MAPSE showed a strong correlation with GLS ( Conclusion: MAPSE is a simple yet powerful tool for assessing LV function, offering strong correlations with GLS and insights into systolic and diastolic performance. Even with suboptimal imaging, its ease of use makes it an invaluable option for cardiac evaluation, particularly in time-sensitive or resource-constrained clinical settings.
