Surgical intervention for ischemic mitral regurgitation: how can we achieve better outcomes?
Review in Surgery today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common complication of myocardial infarction. Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and distortion of the subvalvular apparatus are the main contributors to ischemic MR. Coronary artery bypass grafting alone, mitral valve replacement, and mitral valve repair, with or without subvalvular procedures, have been performed for moderate-to-severe ischemic MR. Several randomized studies on the surgical treatment of ischemic MR have been performed; however, the optimal surgical strategy remains controversial because none have demonstrated a clear survival benefit. Since the mechanisms of ischemic MR are complex and multifactorial, comprehensive preoperative assessment of LV function and geometry (both global and regional), mitral valve configuration, viability testing, and exercise echocardiography are needed. A better understanding of this complicated disease and of the advantages and limitations of each procedure may help us devise more effective patient-specific surgical treatment strategies and achieve better outcomes.
