Biomechanical Evaluation of Mitral Valve Repair: Virtual Chordal Transposition to Restore Anterior Leaflet Prolapse.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Surgical management of an anterior leaflet prolapse remains comparatively challenging and has led to the lack of any firmly established standard repair techniques, as seen in cases of posterior leaflet prolapse. Chordal transposition repair is widely acknowledged as a remarkably durable technique that utilizes the patient's native chordae. This study aims to evaluate and predict the biomechanical and functional characteristics of a normal mitral valve (MV) model and a pathological MV model featuring anterior ruptured mitral chordae tendineae (RMCT), and to assess the effectiveness of the chordal transposition repair in the pathological MV model. Methods: There are four stages in the proposed virtual MV repair evaluation protocol: (1) modeling the virtual pathological MV model with an anterior (A2) RMCT; (2) performing chordal transposition as the virtual MV repair procedure; (3) dynamic finite element simulation of the normal (control) MV model, the pre-repair (pathological) MV model, and the post-repair (chorda transposition) MV model; (4) assessment and comparison of the physiological and biomechanical features among the normal, pre-repair, and post-repair cases. Results: The pathological MV model with anterior RMCT clearly demonstrated a substantial flail, a marked increase in chordal stresses on the two intact chordae adjacent to the ruptured A2 chordae, and severe anterior leaflet prolapse due to the A2 chordal rupture. The virtual chordal transposition demonstrated remarkable efficacy in mitigating the stress concentrations in the leaflet and chordae, restoring leaflet coaptation, and resolving anterior leaflet prolapse. Conclusions: This virtual MV surgery strategy offers a valuable means to predict, evaluate, and quantify functional and biomechanical improvements before and after MV repair, thereby empowering informed decision-making in the planning of chordal transposition interventions.
