Late Outcomes of Valve Repair Versus Replacement in Isolated and Concomitant Tricuspid Valve Surgery: A Nationwide Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Background Surgery for tricuspid valve (TV) diseases is associated with poor prognosis, but few studies have described the long-term outcomes by comparing TV repair and replacement in isolated and concomitant TV surgeries separately. Methods and Results Between 2000 and 2013, adult patients who underwent TV repair or replacement surgeries were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Outcomes of interest included all-cause mortality, composite outcome, and readmission attributable to any cause. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to reduce confounding effects. A total of 2644 patients with a mean follow-up of 4.9 years were included. Of them, 12.6% and 87.4% underwent isolated and concomitant TV surgery, respectively. The in-hospital mortality rates for isolated and concomitant TV surgery were 8.7% and 8.6%, respectively, whereas all-cause mortality rates were 41.7% and 36.8%, respectively. Compared with TV replacement, TV repair demonstrated significantly lower risks of all-cause mortality (concomitant: hazard ratio [HR], 0.76; 95% CI, 0.59-0.99), composite outcome (isolated: subdistribution HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.35-0.89; concomitant: subdistribution HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.46-0.86), and readmission (isolated: subdistribution HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.46-0.91; concomitant: subdistribution HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.60-0.86), except insignificant difference in all-cause mortality in isolated surgery. Conclusions Compared with replacement, TV repair is associated with better short- and long-term outcomes in both isolated and concomitant TV surgery. However, further prospective clinical trials are warranted.
