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

backgroundTranscatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using the TriClip tricuspid valve repair system has emerged as a therapy for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Patients with TR undergoing TEER commonly present with an endocardial lead across the tricuspid valve (TV).

aimsWe sought to examine the effectiveness and safety of tricuspid TEER (T-TEER) in subjects with endocardial leads in the bRIGHT EU Post-Approval Study (PAS).

methodsThe bRIGHT EU PAS is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, multicentre, post-market registry conducted at 26 sites in Europe. Echocardiographic assessments of endocardial lead placement, interaction, and TR grade were performed at a core laboratory.

resultsOf the 511 enrolled subjects, a total of 110 had an endocardial lead, and in 80.7% of these subjects, TR was at least partially related to the lead. At 30 days, 71% of subjects with endocardial leads had TR of moderate or less. The percentage of subjects with endocardial leads categorised as New York Heart Association Functional Class I-II increased from 17% at baseline to 75% at 30 days (p<0.0001), and quality of life with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire showed a mean improvement of 20±24 points from baseline to 30 days (p<0.0001). T-TEER was safe in subjects with endocardial leads, with similar rates of events, including TV reintervention/reoperation and TV surgery, to those in subjects without leads. No reports of lead malfunction were reported.

conclusionsIn the bRIGHT EU PAS, T-TEER using the TriClip system was safe and effective in severe TR subjects with an endocardial lead across the TV.
