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

Mitral valve prolapse in the young is the most common cause of mitral regurgitation (MR). Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a chronic and end-stage manifestation of the inflammatory process of the pericardium. Apart from equalization of diastolic pressure of the chambers as well as increased ventricular interdependence, the thickened pericardial sheath in end-stage pericarditis fails to accommodate the intrathoracic venous return due to restricted cardiac chamber filling. Intracardiac valvular pathologies might co-exist in CP. This report presents a case in which effusive CP was associated with MR and highlights the pivotal role of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the decision-making of such co-existent lesions.
