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

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular abnormalities worldwide and can be subdivided into primary and secondary causes. Atrial MR consists of a novel type of secondary MR (SMR), most often observed in patients with AF and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The main pathophysiological mechanism of atrial MR is mitral valve annular dilatation. Recently published studies have highlighted the clinical significance of left atrium (LA) evaluation in the early diagnosis and prognosis of patients with primary MR. However, there are little data regarding the role of the LA in SMR. The present literature review aims to elucidate the use of the echocardiographic parameters regarding LA evaluation in the prognosis prediction and therapeutic strategy of patients with SMR.
