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

We describe our concept and method of tricuspid annuloplasty using flexible ring for patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation accompanied by a severe tethering and a wide separation of the leaflets between the anterior leaflet and septal leaflet. The goal for our tricuspid ring annuloplasty using a flexible ring is to match the patient's own anterior leaflet configuration. We reduce the size of the tricuspid annulus respecting the individual configuration of the anterior leaflet to create a sufficient coaptation area of the leaflets. We performed this method in a 78-year-old female patient with very severe tricuspid regurgitation accompanied by a severe tethering. The anterior leaflet almost covered the orifice of the flexible ring during systole and intraoperative transesophageal echo examination revealed only trivial tricuspid regurgitation. We believe the anterior leaflet-oriented tricuspid ring annuloplasty using a flexible ring is useful for patients with severe TR accompanied by a severe tethering.
