Minimally invasive versus conventional mitral valve surgery: A propensity score matching analysis.
Article in Turk gogus kalp damar cerrahisi dergisi, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery and conventional surgery in terms of mortality and postoperative complications. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive minimally invasive and conventional mitral valve surgeries performed between January 2019 and December 2022. Patients undergoing concomitant procedures were excluded from the study, and 293 patients (149 females, 144 males; mean age: 53.8±12.9 years; range, 18 to 82 years) were included in the study. Of these patients, 96 underwent minimally invasive surgery (MI group), and 197 underwent mitral valve surgery via conventional sternotomy (CS group). Propensity score matching was utilized to minimize the biases and confounding factors. After propensity score matching, 55 patients were included in each group. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in terms of mortality between the propensity score-matched groups (p=0.315), and no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications was observed between the groups. However, it was found that postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation was lower in the minimally invasive group (p=0.022). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a safe alternative with similar mortality and postoperative complication rates compared to conventional surgery. Additionally, the study suggests an association between minimally invasive surgery and postoperative new onset atrial fibrillation.
