Clinical mid-term outcomes of the Chinese-made CL-V bileaflet mechanical heart valve in Chinese patients.

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
backgroundThe CL-V full-carbon bileaflet mechanical heart valve is a novel Chinese-made prosthetic valve. This study evaluated the mid-term outcomes of the CL-V bileaflet mechanical heart valve after implantation in Chinese patients.
methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled a total of 38 consecutive patients who underwent elective mechanical heart valve replacement (MHVR) with two different valve types from April 2004 and May 2010, including 18 patients with the CL-V bileaflet mechanical heart valve (44.4% male, mean age 47.4±6.2 years, mean body weight 64.7±11.9 kg) and 20 patients with the St. Jude mechanical heart valve (45.0% male, mean age 49.7±7.6 years, mean body weight 66.1±11.1 kg). All patients underwent follow-up clinical evaluations in the outpatient department at all-time points.
resultsNo complications occurred during the mean 61.3 months follow-up time (range, 47-102 months). The cardiothoracic ratios (52.7%±4.5%
conclusionsThe mid-term follow-up results of the CL-V bileaflet mechanical heart valve were similar to those of the St. Jude Medical heart valve, which showed stable hemodynamics and good blood compatibility. Chinese-made CL-V bileaflet mechanical heart valves can be a substitute for St. Jude Medical heart valves, and can be widely used in cardiac surgery.
