Right Ventricular Function and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients With Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock.
Article in International journal of heart failure, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (HF), including cardiogenic shock (CS). We evaluated the association of RVD by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) with mortality in cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) patients with HF. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort of patients with HF admitted to the Mayo Clinic CICU (2007-2018) who had a TTE within one day of admission. TTE-derived global assessment of right ventricular (RV) function was graded on a semi-quantitative scale. Outcomes included in-hospital and one-year mortality. Results: Among 2,450 patients (median 71.6 years, 38.4% female, 91.2% White), 75.7% had RVD (36.9% moderate/severe RVD). Global assessment of RVD correlated with advanced Doppler hemodynamics. Short-term mortality increased according to RVD severity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.30 per degree of RVD; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-1.47, p<0.001), with similar findings after stratification by left ventricular function and CS (25.2% of the cohort). One-year mortality increased with RVD severity (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.21 per degree of RVD; 95% CI, 1.14-1.28, p<0.001). Severe RVD was associated with 51.2% one-year mortality (median survival 9.9 months). Patients with moderate/severe RVD without CS had similar mortality to those with mild/no RVD with CS. Conclusions: RVD is common among CICU patients with acute HF, and TTE-derived global assessment of RV function correlates with advanced Doppler hemodynamics. RVD severity by global assessment is associated with higher short- and long-term mortality, highlighting the potential utility of point-of-care ultrasound for risk stratification in CICU patients.
