Preoperative Right Ventricular Free-Wall Longitudinal Strain as a Prognosticator in Isolated Surgery for Severe Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 24 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
Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) should be intervened before the development of irreversible right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. However, current guidelines do not provide criterion related to RV systolic function to guide optimal surgical timing. We investigated the prognostic value of RV longitudinal strain in patients undergoing isolated surgery for severe functional TR. Methods and Results We enrolled 115 consecutive patients (aged 62±10 years; 23.5% men; 62.6% [n=72] with previous left-sided valve surgery) who underwent isolated surgery for severe functional TR at 2 tertiary centers. Preoperative clinical and echocardiographic parameters, including RV free-wall longitudinal strain (RVFWSL), were collected. The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death and unplanned readmission attributable to cardiovascular causes 5 years after surgery. Forty patients (34.8%) reached the primary end point during 333 person-years of follow-up. There were 11 cardiac deaths and 34 unplanned readmissions attributable to cardiovascular causes, with 5 patients experiencing both. An absolute preoperative RVFWSL <24% was associated with the primary end point (hazard ratio, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.22-4.36;
