Mechanical prosthetic valve thrombosis in current era: 5-year follow-up.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionThe incidence of prosthetic valve dysfunction (stuck valve) is variable and is dependent on various factors. There are studies from Indian groups that have emphasized the success of thrombolysis; however, none of them reported a follow-up. This study was designed to emphasize on the follow-up of these patients at midterm. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe patients of prosthetic valve thrombosis between period of January 2013 and December 2017 were included in this retrospective observational study. Sixty-six patients were admitted with stuck valve during this period. Thrombolysis was preferred modality of treatment. Survivors were followed up with serial echocardiography, which included estimation of left ventricular and valve functions.
resultsOf a total of 66 patients, 59 were of stuck mitral valve and 7 stuck aortic valve. The event happened at a mean of 48.86 ± 48.80 months after index operation of valve replacement using mechanical valve prosthesis. The median age was 40.27 ± 10.8 years with 39 males and 27 females. Thrombolysis was successful in 61 patients with a mortality of 5 (7.57%). During a mean follow-up of 22.7 ± 20.9 months, 42 patients were alive with 14 (22.95%) patients dead and 5 patients lost to follow-up. The average follow-up was 18.7 ± 22.7 months before death.
conclusionFollowing good early results after thrombolysis, patients of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis experience high mortality within 2 years of follow-up. These patients require frequent follow-up to avoid early mortality.
