Diagnostic and Prognostic Utility of Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
backgroundMovement of the mitral annulus toward the left ventricular (LV) apex during systole, termed atrioventricular plane displacement or mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE), was first observed by Leonardo da Vinci in the 15th century. MAPSE, a measure of longitudinal movement, shows good agreement between transthoracic echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and can also be measured by transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography. Measurement is fast, simple, and easily automated. However, no major imaging guidelines advise routine measurement.
methodsWe present a systematic review of studies appraising the diagnostic and prognostic performance of MAPSE from PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, and Embase until September 2025 in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Studies assessing MAPSE in adult populations were included, and non-English publications, abstracts, and studies of congenital heart disease were excluded. Newcastle-Ottawa Scale assessed study quality. Correlation coefficients between MAPSE and markers of systolic function were pooled using Hunter-Schmidt meta-analysis. Heterogeneous diagnostic and prognostic outcomes were synthesized narratively.
resultsThe review included 92 studies. MAPSE correlated with LV ejection fraction (
conclusionsOverall, MAPSE has a clinically important role meriting integration into routine cardiac imaging and care.
