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

backgroundRight-sided heart failure (HF) due to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with reduced quality of life (QoL). Here, we analyzed the impact of TR on specific QoL dimensions and the effect of transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) on individual QoL items. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, we included 174 patients with HF (49% women; median age, 79 years; 97% New York Heart Association ≥3) with baseline QoL assessment undergoing TTVI by transcatheter edge-to-edge-repair at our center between April 2016 and March 2022. QoL was assessed by the standardized Minnesota Living With HF Questionnaire. QoL change after TTVI and correlation to functional end points were analyzed. In addition, all QoL domains and the 21 individual items of the Minnesota Living With HF Questionnaire were analyzed. TTVI significantly reduced TR (TR ≥3: baseline 95%, 1-year-follow-up 7%;

conclusionsIn this single-center study, we delineate the QoL-associated disease burden of TR and identify specific QoL items that improved after TTVI. Our findings support TTVI in patients with reduced QoL and may add to the development of specific tools assessing the functional status of an increasing patient population undergoing TTVI.
