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

objectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) using MitraClip

methodsThe study retrospectively included 340 consecutive patients who underwent TMVR. Patients were classified according to age into the oldest-old (age ≥ 85 years) patient group or the younger (age < 85 years) patient group. Immediate results of the procedure, intrahospital outcomes and one-year outcomes were compared.

resultsOldest-old patients represented 15.9% (

conclusionsTMVR seems to be feasible and effective in oldest-old patients and should be considered for oldest-old patients presenting with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation and high surgical risk.
