Clinical, sonographic characteristics and long-term prognosis of valvular heart disease in elderly patients.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundValvular heart disease (VHD) is expected to become more prevail as the population ages and disproportionately affects older adults. However, direct comparison of clinical characteristics, sonographic diagnosis, and outcomes in VHD patients aged over 65 years is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis in two age-groups of geriatric patients with VHD.
methodsWe retrospectively enrolled consecutive individuals aged ≥ 65 years from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital and screened for VHD using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Finally, 260 (48.9%) patients were in the 65-74 years group, and 272 (51.1%) were in the ≥ 75-year group. Factors that affected long-term survival was explored. A multivariable Cox hazards regression was performed to identify the predictors of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in each group.
resultsIn our population, the older group were more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), degenerative VHD, but with less rheumatic VHD, aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral stenosis (MS). Compared with those aged 65-74 years, the older group had a higher incidence of all-cause death (10.0%
conclusionAdvanced age profoundly affect prognosis and different predictors were associated with MACEs in geriatric patients with VHD.
