Comparative outcomes and risk analysis after cone repair or tricuspid valve replacement for Ebstein's anomaly.
Article in JTCVS open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart malformation for which surgical and medical management are still controversial. The cone repair has transformed surgical outcomes in many of these patients. We aimed to present our results on the outcomes of patients with Ebstein's anomaly who underwent a cone repair or tricuspid valve replacement. Methods: A total of 85 patients who underwent a cone repair (mean age, 16.5 years) or tricuspid valve replacement (mean age, 40.8 years) between 2006 and 2021 were included. Univariate, multivariate, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to evaluate operative and long-term outcomes. Results: Residual/recurrent greater than mild-to-moderate tricuspid regurgitation at discharge was higher after cone repair compared with tricuspid valve replacement (36% vs 5%; Conclusions: The cone procedure offers excellent results, with stable tricuspid valve function and low reintervention and death rates at last follow-up. The rate of greater than mild-to-moderate residual tricuspid regurgitation at discharge was higher after cone repair compared with tricuspid valve replacement, but this did not expose the patient to a higher risk of reoperation or death at last follow-up. Tricuspid valve replacement was associated with a significantly higher risk of tricuspid valve reoperation and tricuspid valve stenosis, and worse right ventricular function at last follow-up.
