Mitral regurgitation in the critically ill: the devil is in the detail.
Review in Annals of intensive care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 regurgitation (MR) is common in the critically unwell and encompasses a heterogenous group of conditions with diverging therapeutic strategies. MR may present acutely with haemodynamic instability or more insidiously with failure to wean from mechanical ventilation. Critical illness is associated with marked physiological stress and haemodynamic changes that dynamically influence the severity and implication of MR. The expanding role of critical care echocardiography uniquely positions the intensivist to apply advanced bedside valvular assessment to recognise haemodynanically significant MR, manipulate and optimise cardiopulmonary physiology and identify patients requiring urgent cardiology and surgical referral. This review will consider common clinical scenarios, therapeutic strategies and the pearls and pitfalls of echocardiographic assessment and quantification in the critically unwell.
