Incidence and predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis following percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty: a study from a tertiary center in Thailand.

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
backgroundRheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) remains a common and concerning health problem in Asia. Percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) is the standard treatment for patients with symptomatic severe MS and favorable valve morphology. However, studies on the incidence and predictors of adverse cardiac outcomes following PBMV in Asia have been limited. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and predictors of adverse outcomes in patients with rheumatic MS following PBMV.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with symptomatic severe MS who underwent successful PBMV between 2002 and 2020 at a tertiary academic institute in Thailand. Patients were followed up to assess adverse outcomes, defined as a composite of cardiac death, heart failure hospitalization, repeat PBMV, or mitral valve surgery. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors of adverse outcomes. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsA total of 379 patients were included in the study (mean age 43 ± 11 years, 80% female). During a median follow-up of 5.9 years (IQR 1.7-11.7), 74 patients (19.5%) experienced adverse outcomes, with an annualized event rate of 2.7%. Multivariable analysis showed that age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.008-1.05, p = 0.006), significant tricuspid regurgitation (HR 2.17, 95% CI 1.33-3.56, p = 0.002), immediate post-PBMV mitral valve area (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.64, p = 0.01), and immediate post-PBMV mitral regurgitation (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.18-3.07, p = 0.008) were independent predictors of adverse outcomes.
conclusionsIn patients with symptomatic severe rheumatic MS, the incidence of adverse outcomes following PBMV was 2.7% per year. Age, significant tricuspid regurgitation, immediate post-PBMV mitral valve area, and immediate post-PBMV mitral regurgitation were identified as independent predictors of these adverse outcomes.
