1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 (FMR) is one the most common complications of myocardial infarction (MI) in adults carrying a significant clinical and economic burden. Despite specific randomized controlled studies to address its treatment have been performed, there are still a number of questions remained unanswered. Outcomes of surgical repair of FMR are still hampered by a significant rate of recurrence of regurgitation and need for reoperation. Mechanisms underlying failure of repairs still need to be completely clarified and questions regarding the indications and optimal timing for intervention as well as the best suitable operative technique to be applied are still debated. This work will review the current knowledge on FMR including its pathogenic mechanisms, the available treatment strategies, the evidences from trials and observational studies and the potential future directions to address the issues related to its treatment.
