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

The prohibitive risk of isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery encouraged rapid development of a transcatheter solution for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The favorable results of these devices informed recent guidelines to recommend considering transcatheter treatment of symptomatic secondary severe TR in inoperable patients. Transcatheter TV repair systems usually reduce TR through leaflet approximation and direct annuloplasty. Orthotopic transcatheter TV replacement (TTVR) devices generally rely on radial force and tricuspid leaflet engagement for implantation and stability. The LuX-Valve is a novel radial force-independent orthotopic TTVR device that is operated through the trans-atrial approach. Its radial force-independency is achieved through an interventricular septal anchor tab (septal insertion) and two leaflet graspers (leaflet engagement). Such a unique design makes the intraprocedural imaging different from that of other currently available TTVR systems. The latest generation of this device, the LuX-Valve Plus, comes with a newly designed delivery system through the transjugular approach, which makes the intraprocedural monitoring and adjustment of the device even more complex for successful implantation. However, its unique imaging needs for intra-procedural guidance and post-operative evaluation have not been described before. Therefore, we aimed to elaborate the key steps of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to guide this novel procedure. Herein, the primary 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic work planes are proposed and the critical steps are emphasized for better communication between imagers and interventionists. The suitability of 2D and 3D echocardiography to guide this procedure is also discussed to increase the flexibility of choice during the implantation.
