Early outcome of endoscopic mitral valve surgery in elderly patients: a high-volume single center experience.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Despite increasing use of transcatheter approaches, endoscopic mitral valve surgery (MVS) remains an established option for treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR). Nevertheless, as perioperative risk increases with age, outcome of endoscopic MVS in elderly patients is uncertain. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 756 consecutive patients with MR ≥2, who underwent minimally-invasive MVS at our institution between 2016 and 2022. Patients were stratified by age ≥75 (elderly-group; Results: Overall surgical risk was increased in the elderly-group (median age of 77 (76-80) years vs. 58 (51-67) years, Conclusion: Despite increased prevalence of outcome-relevant comorbidities and surgical risk, perioperative outcome of patients aged ≥75 years undergoing endoscopic MVS is favorable. Therefore, endoscopic MVS is a valuable therapeutic option for selected elderly patients and should be taken in consideration during routine heart-team discussion.
