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

The echocardiographic tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio is a non-invasive surrogate of right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling which corresponds well with the respective invasively derived index. Recently, a wealth of observational data has arisen, outlining its prognostic value in heart failure (HF) patients. To systematically appraise and quantitatively synthesize the evidence of the prognostic value of TAPSE/PASP ratio in left-sided HF regardless of etiology or left ventricular ejection fraction. A systematic literature review was conducted in electronic databases to identify studies reporting the association of TAPSE/PASP ratio with outcomes in patients with HF and, when appropriate, a random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios [(a)HRs] for all-cause death and the composite outcome of all-cause death or HF hospitalization. Eighteen studies were deemed eligible encompassing 8,699 HF patients. The applied cut-off value for RV-PA uncoupling varied substantially from 0.27 to 0.58 mm/mmHg, and in most studies values lower than the applied cutoff conveyed dismal prognosis. Eleven studies reported appropriate data for meta-analysis. TAPSE/PASP reduction by 1 mm/mmHg was independently associated with all-cause death (pooled aHR=1.32 [1.06-1.65]; p=0.01; I
