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

An 85-year-old woman with long-standing atrial fibrillation and severe tricuspid regurgitation presented with worsening symptoms and massive right atrial enlargement (RAE). The patient experienced shortness of breath even during minimal exertion, such as walking within her house, which significantly impacted her daily activities. Surgical intervention, including tricuspid valve replacement and right atrial plication (RAP), led to significant symptomatic relief and improved pulmonary function. Postoperatively, the patient's heart size and lung capacity showed significant recovery. This case underscores the potential benefits of the RAP in alleviating respiratory restriction due to lung compression caused by the enlarged right atrium and enhancing the quality of life of patients with severe RAE.
