Concurrent valve replacement and caesarean section for rheumatic mitral valve disease with refractory heart failure in late pregnancy.
Article in Obstetric medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To assess clinical characteristics and outcomes of women who underwent concurrent valve replacement with caesarean section for severe rheumatic mitral valve disease with refractory heart failure. Methods: All women admitted to a single centre from 2011 to 2020 with severe rheumatic mitral valve disease, having recurrent episodes of pulmonary edema on optimal medical therapy and contraindication to percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy, who underwent concurrent valve replacement (for native valve disease) along with caesarean section, were included. Results: Among 1300 pregnancies with rheumatic heart disease, six underwent the concurrent procedure. All had replacement of mitral valve except one who had both aortic and mitral valve replacements, between 33 and 39 weeks of gestation. There were no maternal deaths, and there was one neonatal loss from late-onset sepsis. Conclusion: Pregnant women with severe rheumatic mitral valve disease with refractory heart failure, unsuitable for minimal access interventions, can be considered for a concurrent valve replacement with caesarean section.
