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

Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a disease with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Besides surgery and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement has evolved as a possible treatment option in high-risk patients with an unfavourable anatomy for TEER. Case summary: We present a case of an 82-year-old patient with torrential TR due to an annulus dilation and subsequent central gap of >8 mm. Echocardiographic guiding was impeded by the presence of two permanent right ventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads and previous surgical aortic valve implantation and mitral valve reconstruction. An EVOQUE prosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences; Irvine, USA) was successfully implanted without impairment of the ICD function or significant paravalvular leakage. Conclusion: Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the EVOQUE-tricuspid valve replacement system is feasible even in patients with two right ventricular ICD leads and limited echocardiographic visibility.
