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

Substitution of a defective heart valve with a prosthetic heart valve turns the native disease for prosthesis-related complications. One of the most serious and dreaded complications is prosthetic valve obstruction. It is either the result of a thrombus or pannus formation. For the evaluation of prosthetic valve obstruction, transthoracic echography and fluoroscopy provide functional information but may not provide information about the etiology of the obstruction, unlike multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) which allows a more precise etiological diagnosis to guide the therapeutic attitude. Here, we report a case of a mechanical prosthetic mitral valve obstruction in a 45-year-old patient in whom the diagnosis of pannus was retained on the basis of clinical, biological, and imaging data. The differentiation between thrombus and pannus is crucial because it conditions the therapeutic attitude. Advanced imaging specially MDCT options should be considered whenever mechanical prosthesis valve obstruction is suspected.
