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: Aortic valve annular (AVA) plane systolic excursion (AAPSE) is an echocardiographic measure of left ventricular (LV) function, representing the spatial AVA displacement throughout the heart cycle. This study focused on examining associations between AAPSE and LV strains, as objective features of LV contractility patterns, assessed simultaneously by three-dimensional (3D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in healthy adult individuals. It was also examined what happens when these parameters are at, or smaller or larger than, their mean values. Methods: The present cohort study consisted of 111 healthy subjects (average age: 35.1±12.3 years, 70 men), In all individuals, two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and 3DSTE have been utilized, the latter was used for simultaneous assessment of LV strains and AAPSE. Results: Apical LV longitudinal strain proved to be increased in the presence of lower-than-average AAPSE. Midventricular, apical and global LV circumferential strain proved to be elevated in the presence of higher-than-average AAPSE. AAPSE showed no significant differences when comparing global LV strain subgroups having lower/higher than average and agerage values, but showed the lowest value for the average global LV radial, circumferential and longitudinal strains. Conclusions: There is a balanced sensitive relationship between AAPSE and regional LV strains as assessed during the same 3DSTE in healthy adults.
