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

A patient in his 60s with a bioprosthetic aortic and mitral valve replacement presented with dyspnoea, tiredness and dizziness 2 years postoperatively. Transthoracic echocardiography showed mitral valve stenosis and increased pulmonary artery pressure suggesting bioprosthetic valve failure. Cardiac CT confirmed the diagnosis of bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis. Treatment with anticoagulation resulted in a remarkable improvement of the valve area and gradient and complete resolution of the thrombus. Herein, we report a case of rare bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis.
