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

introductionDuring valve replacement, appropriate valve size will be chosen based on many factors, neglecting the potential of the patient for gaining weight. We aimed at evaluating the weight gain potential and its effect on hemodynamics in post mitral valve replacement (MVR) patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn 118 post-MVR patients, demographic and echocardiographic data at the time of discharge and follow-up were obtained and analyzed. Primary aim of study is to analyze the hemodynamics of patients based on weight gain/loss. Secondary aim is to evaluate the same in patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) subgroup and to evaluate the study population for the potential to gain/loss weight.

resultsAmong 118 patients, 87 patients (73.7%) gained weight. In 87 weight gained patients, left atrial (LA) size (

conclusionIn post-MVR patients, weight gain has definitive influence over hemodynamics. In PPM subgroup, weight gained patients had significantly increased PA systolic pressure at follow-up. Young, < 50 kg weighed, and PPM patients should be advised to maintain their weight post MVR for better hemodynamics.
