Surgical approach to mitral regurgitation in chronic heart failure: when is it an option?
Review in Current heart failure reports, 2012. 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
Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is common in patients with chronic heart failure and adversely affects survival and quality of life. Surgery is effective in improving symptoms and reverse remodeling of the ventricle. However, its effect on survival is unclear. Indications for surgery are challenging given the elevated surgical risk of these patients, lack of prospective randomized data, and uncertain long-term results in the historical series. A systematic approach to functional mitral regurgitation that addresses both the mitral insufficiency and the ventricular remodeling with careful patient selection can achieve reliable, reproducible, and lasting results. This article reviews the surgical procedures to treat functional mitral regurgitation and presents an algorithm for their application in patients with congestive heart failure.
