Texas TriValve 1.0 : a reverse‑engineered, open model of the human tricuspid valve.
Article in Engineering with computers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Nearly 1.6 million Americans suffer from a leaking tricuspid heart valve. To make matters worse, current valve repair options are far from optimal leading to recurrence of leakage in up to 30% of patients. We submit that a critical step toward improving outcomes is to better understand the "forgotten" valve. High-fidelity computer models may help in this endeavour. However, the existing models are limited by averaged or idealized geometries, material properties, and boundary conditions. In our current work, we overcome the limitations of existing models by (reverse) engineering the tricuspid valve from a beating human heart in an organ preservation system. The resulting finite-element model faithfully captures the kinematics and kinetics of the native tricuspid valve as validated against echocardiographic data and others' previous work. To showcase the value of our model, we also use it to simulate disease-induced and repair-induced changes to valve geometry and mechanics. Specifically, we simulate and compare the effectiveness of tricuspid valve repair via surgical annuloplasty and via transcatheter edge-to-edge repair. Importantly, our model is openly available for others to use. Thus, our model will allow us and others to perform virtual experiments on the healthy, diseased, and repaired tricuspid valve to better understand the valve itself and to optimize tricuspid valve repair for better patient outcomes.
