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

objectivesWe sought to evaluate the effect of gender on biology, therapeutic decisions, and survival in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR).

backgroundGender affects adaptive response to the presence of valvular heart diseases and therapeutic decisions. The impact of these on survival in severe AR patients is not known.

methodsThis observational study was compiled from our echocardiographic database which was screened (1993-2007) for patients with severe AR. Detailed chart reviews were performed. Mortality data were obtained from the Social Security Death Index and analyzed as a function of gender.

resultsOf the 756 patients with severe AR, 308 (41%) were women. Over a follow-up of up to 22 years, there were 434 deaths. Women compared to men were older (64 ± 18 vs. 59 ± 17 years,

conclusionsThis study strongly suggests that female gender is associated with different biological responses to AR compared to men. There is also a lower AVR rate in women, but women derive similar survival benefit as men with AVR. Gender does not seem to affect survival in an independent fashion in patients with severe AR after adjusting for group differences and AVR rates.
