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

This is a case of a 70-year-old male patient with a history of degenerative mitral valve disease who presented to the emergency department with progressively worsening dyspnea. Prominent findings were rapid atrial fibrillation and unilateral pulmonary edema. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed chordal rupture-related severe-eccentric mitral regurgitation. The patient underwent surgical mitral valve repair. Learning objectives: •To acknowledge that the clinical presentation may not be as dramatic when acute mitral regurgitation (MR) is superimposed on chronic MR, due to the increased left atrium compliance•To bear in mind that eccentric jets of severe MR can cause unilateral pulmonary infiltrates, mimicking a primary pulmonary process•To remind that rapid atrial fibrillation might be the result rather than the cause of acute cardiac decompensation.
