The Cross-Talk Between the Heart and the Liver: The Involvement of the Mitral Valve as a Novel Actor upon the Ancient Scene of Liver Cirrhosis.

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
backgroundTo date, little is known about correlations between liver dysfunction and circulatory and cardiac abnormalities (e.g.,: mitral valve, MV) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). This study aimed to assess a potential parallelism between liver dysfunction and cardiovascular involvement and identify the factors associated with structural and functional MV disorders.
methodsAmong 995 patients with CLD, 346 were enrolled and compared with 168 controls without liver disease. According to the degree of liver disease, patients were classified as patients with chronic hepatitis (142) or with liver cirrhosis (Child-A: 70; Child-B: 65; Child-C: 69).
resultsAmong the chronic hepatitis group, resting heart rate (HR) and left ventricular (LV) mass were higher than in the control group (
conclusionsThe magnitude of cardiac morpho/functional abnormalities is associated with the severity of liver dysfunction. Structural and functional MV abnormalities could represent a novel sign of cardiac involvement in liver cirrhosis. The severity and duration of liver disease, the enlargement of cardiac chambers and leaflet calcium accumulation could play a key role.
