Surgical outcomes of heart valves replacement: A study of tertiary specialied cardiac center.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundHeart valve disease is a significant and increasing global problem in the developing world. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in patients who underwent heart valve replacement.
methodsIn this prospective study, 320 adult cases (186 females and 134 males, mean age of: 45.7 ± 15.0) with valvular heart diseases who underwent heart valve replacement at our center, from June 2011 to January 2012 were enrolled. All the required demographic, echocardiographic, and electrocardiogram data were studied. The incidence of intraoperative and early postoperative complications and mortality were evaluated.
resultsAmong total, 96.3% of the cases underwent elective surgery. Mitral valve replacement surgery was occurred the most in 58.8% of the cases. In 11.3% of the cases, bioprosthetic valves and in 88.8% of the patients prosthetic valves were required. Early postoperative complications were occurred in 85 patients (26.6%), including: valve-related events: 7 cases, postoperative arrhythmia: 24 patients, worsening function of the repaired valve: 16 cases and general complications: 38 patients. Mortality was occurred in 25 patients (7.8%), 10 cases due to cardiac problems versus 15 patients due to non-cardiac problems. There were significant correlations between age, simultaneous valve repair and replacement, the anatomic site of the valve and the incidence of postoperative complications. Age, history of diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and high grade of functional capacity were reported the significant causes of postoperative mortality.
conclusionAge, DM, HTN, functional capacity and multivalve disease are significant predictors of post-valvular surgery morbidity and mortality.
