Impact of Procedural Success Definitions on Long-Term Outcomes in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Treated With Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty: A Multicenter, Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundIt is uncertain which percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) success definitions should be used because there are no studies comparing the effects of these definitions on subsequent outcomes. We evaluated the association between 3 success definitions and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis who underwent PBMV. METHODS AND
resultsThis multicenter retrospective study included patients with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis who underwent PBMV. Three definitions were used as follows: (A) post-PBMV mitral valve area (MVA) ≥1.5 cm
conclusionsAll 3 success definitions had a prognostic impact on outcomes. Patients who achieved post-PBMV MVA ≥1.5 cm
