Effect of Tricuspid Repair on Pacemaker Rate After Mitral Repair Is Higher in Degenerative Disease.

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: Permanent pacemaker (PPM) placement after mitral valve (MV) repair is affected by concomitant procedures, yet existing literature reports conflicting rates. We aimed to characterize the effect of concomitant operation on risk of need for postoperative PPM in patients who underwent MV repair. Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained institutional database (1996-2020) was conducted of consecutive patients undergoing MV repair, including concomitant procedures. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of a concomitant procedure on PPM rate. Results: Of the 2824 patients undergoing MV repair, 6% (177/2824) required a PPM. The likelihood of PPM varied with concomitant procedures: aortic valve replacement (39/258 [15%]), coronary artery bypass grafting (86/789 [11%]), tricuspid valve (TV) repair (33/326 [10%]), and maze (27/407 [7%]). Increased PPM rate was associated with aortic valve replacement (odds ratio [OR], 2.2 [1.5-3.3]; Conclusions: In MV repair, risk of pacemaker with concomitant TV repair should be weighed more heavily in degenerative MV disease. Pacemaker risk should not discourage surgeons from performing TV repair in patients with nondegenerative MV disease, in patients already undergoing concomitant operation or with clinically significant tricuspid regurgitation.
