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

Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) currently represents a valuable therapeutic option for patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) considered at high surgical risk. Besides symptoms and left ventricular (LV) echocardiographic improvements upon TEER, it has been postulated that left atrial (LA) function plays a prognostic role. The aims of our study were to evaluate LA changes after TEER, measured by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography analysis (2D-STE), their association with atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence, and relative arrhythmic burden. We considered in a single-center study 109 patients affected by symptomatic severe MR undergoing TEER from February 2015 to April 2022. By 2D-STE, LA reservoir (R_s), conduct (D_s), and contractile (C_s) strains were assessed along with four-chamber emptying fraction (LAEF-4CH) before, 1, 6, and 12 months following TEER. Statistical analysis for comparison among baseline, and follow-ups after TEER was carried out by ANOVA, MANOVA, and linear regression. Successful TEER significantly improved LV dimensions and LA performances, as indicated by all strain components, and LAEF-4CH after 1 year. Strikingly, a significant reduction in arrhythmic burden was observed, since only one case of subclinical AF detected by a previously implanted cardiac electronic device was found in the cohort of sinus rhythm patients (
