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

Mitral valve infective endocarditis involves a mitral annular abscess in approximately 15% of cases, and surgery is the treatment of choice for this scenario. An 80-year-old comorbid man with eradicated infective endocarditis had an emptied abscess cavity of the posterior mitral valve annulus (with left ventricular-left atrial connections) and had severe paravalvular and coexistent relevant transvalvular mitral regurgitation. He was not a surgical candidate. Successful management was with cavity closure, using a Nitinol occluder device, and transcatheter mitral valve implantation. This case demonstrates a novel transcatheter management approach to treat coexistent postendocarditis paravalvular and relevant transvalvular mitral regurgitation in a patient whose surgical risk was prohibitively high because of comorbidities.
