Sex Differences in the Outcomes of Degenerative Mitral Valve Repair.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeThis study explored the sex differences in the outcomes of degenerative mitral valve repair (MVr).
methodsFrom 2010 to 2019, 1069 patients who underwent MVr due to degenerative mitral disease at Beijing Anzhen Hospital were analyzed. The average patient follow-up was 5.1 years (interquartile range: 5-7 years). The primary endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints were freedom from reoperation and recurrent mitral regurgitation. A propensity-matched analysis was used to compare the outcomes of males and females.
resultsFemales were older, had a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation and moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation, and had smaller left atrial, left ventricular end-diastolic, and left ventricular end-systolic diameters. Males were more likely to undergo concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting and had longer cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times. The in-hospital mortality was <1% (10/1,069). After propensity score matching of 331 pairs of patients, most variables were well balanced. Before and after propensity score matching, the long-term survival and freedom from reoperation rates were similar. Males had higher durability after surgery compared with females.
conclusionsFemales were referred to surgery later and had more complications than males. Long-term survival and freedom from reoperation rates were not significantly different between the sexes.
