Impact of atrial fibrillation on outcomes of patients treated by transcatheter mitral valve repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
backgroundConflicting data have been reported related to the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on outcomes after transcatheter mitral valve repair with MitraClip (MC) implantation. In this study, we assessed the prognosis of MC-treated patients according to the presence of pre-existing AF.
methodsRandomized and observational studies reporting outcomes of pre-existing AF or sinus rhythm in patients undergoing MC treatment were identified with an electronic search. Outcomes of interest were short-and long-term mortality, stroke, bleeding, rehospitalization, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiogenic shock, acute procedure success, the hospital stay, and the number of Clips implanted.
resultsEight studies (8466 individuals) were eligible. Compared to sinus rhythm, long-term mortality, the risk of bleeding, rehospitalization, and longer hospital stay were significantly higher in AF groups, whereas similar correlations were found in the analysis of other outcomes.
conclusionAF may be related with worse outcomes in patients undergoing MC implantation, including long-term mortality, major bleeding, and rehospitalization. AF should be taken into account when referring a patient for MC treatment.
