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

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for the systemic atrioventricular valve has been anecdotally reported as a viable treatment option in symptomatic inoperable adult patients born with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA). However, to date, case reports on TEER treatment of both atrioventricular valves are lacking, especially when considering the present availability of specific mitral and tricuspid valve TEER devices. Case summary: We present the case of an 84-year-old man with recurrent admissions for acute heart failure due to high-grade regurgitation of both atrioventricular valves. The patient was first diagnosed with ccTGA at this advanced age and underwent a thorough multimodality imaging approach, including transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac computed tomography, and ventriculography of the systemic ventricle. Due to the high symptom burden despite optimal medical therapy and high doses of diuretics, the heart team recommended TEER, first for the systemic tricuspid valve and later on for the non-systemic mitral valve. Both complex procedures were uneventful and led to considerable improvement in quality of life. Discussion: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries mostly manifests itself in adulthood and affects both ventricles and atrioventricular valves. In case of anatomical doubts on transthoracic echocardiography, a thorough multimodality imaging work-up is recommended. Transcatheter treatment of both atrioventricular valves seems to be a safe and effective therapeutic option in these often inoperable patients.
