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

objectivesThe aim of this study is assessment of persistent functional tricuspid regurgitation in patients with atrial septal defect before and after successful device closure and its relationship to tricuspid valve remodeling.

methodsThe current study was conducted on 60 patients referred to Tanta University Hospital Cardiology Department with the provisional diagnosis of atrial septal defect secundum type for transcatheter closure from December 2017 to December 2019. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, 12 lead electrocardiography, plain chest X-ray, full two dimension transthoracic echocardiography (for assessment of tricuspid regurgitation severity) before and at 3, 6 months after transcatheter closure.

resultsTricuspid regurgitation was decreased significantly after atrial septal defect closure due to remodeling in the right side. Age, estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure, right atrium end systolic area, right ventricular end diastolic area, tricuspid valve tenting area and height, tricuspid septal leaflet angle and tricuspid annular diameter were predictors of persistent tricuspid regurgitation after 3 and 6 months of closure. Only estimated systolic pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid septal leaflet angle and tricuspid annular diameter were independent predictors of persistent tricuspid regurgitation after 3, and 6 months of closure.

conclusionTricuspid regurgitation significantly improved after transcatheter atrial septal defect closure despite its significance at baseline due to remodeling in right side and tricuspid valve.
