Mitral Valve Repair in the Treatment of Heart Failure.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Heart failure continues to be one of the leading causes of hospitalizations and mortality in the United States. Mitral valve regurgitation in patients with heart failure is most often a functional abnormality and as such represents a different disease entity from other more common causes of regurgitation. In general, in patients with heart failure the mitral valve structure is normal; however, regurgitation is secondary to changes in left ventricular (LV) structure and function, including mitral annular dilatation and changes in LV geometry. Mitral regurgitation affects almost all patients with heart failure as a preterminal or terminal event, and carries a high morbidity and mortality. Medical management is limited to treatment with diuretics and afterload reduction. Unfortunately, once significant amounts of mitral regurgitation are manifest, medical treatment alone is generally associated with poor long-term survival and outcome. Surgical treatment by means of undersized annuloplasty type repairs has shown great promise, for preventing worsening heart failure and improving overall LV function.
