Biomechanics raises solution to avoid geometric mitral valve configuration abnormalities in ischemic mitral regurgitation.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a form of mitral insufficiency that is characterized by papillary muscle (PM) displacement, leaflet tethering, reduced closing forces, and different degree of annular dilatation. Treatment of this condition includes mitral valve replacement or mitral valve repair with restrictive annuloplasty. Recent evidences in mitral valve repair showed that addressing only the annulus and neglecting the subvalvular apparatus provides a suboptimal operation with poor long-term results. However, the complexity of the geometrical aberrances occurring in IMR demands for more accurate analysis also involving the biomechanics underlying the failing mitral valve and subvalvular apparatus. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool in this context and we developed a biomechanical model of mitral valve and subvalvular unit using 3D geometry of the leaflets, annulus, chordae and PM. After the application of structural properties of materials to these elements and simulation of systemic pressure loading, FEA could be used to directly determine biomechanical changes and geometry variations. We believe this approach can provide valuable information to better address the surgical treatment of IMR and answer some of the questions still pending in IMR management.
