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

backgroundSevere tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Isolated TR, defined as TR without overt heart disease, is typical and offers limited cardiac treatment options other than interventional repair or replacement. Survival history of cancer or active cancer treatment may lead to an unnecessary delay of TR treatment.

methodsWe included all patients diagnosed with severe TR at the Medical University of Vienna between 2003 and 2016 who had normal left ventricular function and no other valvular lesions. Outcome analysis was performed on cancer type, status and the number of organs affected by cancer.

resultsA total of 973 patients were included. 182 (19%) patients had cancer, 52 were active and 130 had a history of cancer at the time of TR diagnosis. Oncologic patients were divided into subgroups of gastrointestinal, skin, glands, gynaecological, breast, urogenital, lung and other cancers. Ten-year mortality of patients with cancer was higher than those without cancer (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis adjusting for age did not reveal significantly higher mortality in patients with a history of cancer compared to patients without cancer (p = 0.59). Patients with lung, active, or multi-organ cancer showed the highest mortality.

conclusionsMortality in patients with severe isolated TR is high and increased by active or multi-organ cancer but not by a history of cancer. These patients should be discussed in interdisciplinary cardio-oncology teams to avoid delaying life-saving treatment of TR and cancer.
