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

Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) results from asymmetric dilation of the tricuspid valve annulus. This often occurs due to right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction as a consequence of myocardial or valvular abnormalities of the left heart. Even mild TR at the time of left-sided valvular surgery may worsen postoperatively, which carries poor prognostic implications. In spite of data revealing poor outcomes associated with residual TR, surgery for functional TR remains underutilized. Surgical repair techniques for TR include placement of a rigid or semi-rigid tricuspid annular ring, which has been shown to provide superior longevity compared with suture and flexible band repair techniques. Additionally, emerging percutaneous annuloplasty techniques to correct functional TR can expand interventional treatment options to patients who would otherwise carry prohibitive operative risk.
