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

Background This study analyzed the effects on long-term outcome of residual mitral regurgitation ( MR ) and mean mitral valve pressure gradient ( MVPG ) after percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair using the MitraClip system. Methods and Results Two hundred fifty-five patients who underwent percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of residual MR and MVPG on clinical outcome. A combined clinical end point (all-cause mortality, MV surgery, redo procedure, implantation of a left ventricular assist device) was used. After percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair, mean MVPG increased from 1.6±1.0 to 3.1±1.5 mm Hg ( P<0.001). Reduction of MR severity to ≤2+ postintervention was achieved in 98.4% of all patients. In the overall patient cohort, residual MR was predictive of the combined end point while elevated MVPG >4.4 mm Hg was not according to Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. We then analyzed the cohort with degenerative and that with functional MR separately to account for these different entities. In the cohort with degenerative MR , elevated MVPG was associated with increased occurrence of the primary end point, whereas this was not observed in the cohort with functional MR . Conclusions MVPG >4.4 mm Hg after MitraClip implantation was predictive of clinical outcome in the patient cohort with degenerative MR . In the patient cohort with functional MR , MVPG >4.4 mm Hg was not associated with increased clinical events.
