Urgent Transcatheter Mitral Edge-to-Edge Repair Is Associated With Worse in-Hospital Outcomes: A Nationwide Analysis.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 assess in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing urgent versus non-urgent transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
methodsWe used the NIS database 2016-2019 to include admissions who underwent TEER. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to compare urgent versus non-urgent groups.
resultsA total of 29 730 weighted admissions were included, of whom 21.6% were urgent admissions. Urgent admissions had a higher risk of in-hospital mortality (risk ratio [RR] 3.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.39-5.62), cardiogenic shock (RR 4.95, 95% CI 3.73-6.57), intra-aortic balloon pump (RR 3.97, 95% CI 2.53-6.23), percutaneous ventricular assist device (RR 17.24, 95% CI 6.37-46.66), mechanical ventilation (RR 3.79, 95% CI 2.80-5.11), acute stroke (RR 2.56, 95% CI 1.32-4.97), in-hospital cardiac arrest (RR 2.25, 95% CI 1.08-4.69), major bleeding (RR 5.18, 95% CI 2.97-9.06), increased length of stay (6 vs. 2 days, p < 0.001), and higher total costs ($229 160 vs. $164 653, p < 0.01) compared to non-urgent admissions. There was no difference between both groups for renal replacement therapy and pericardial complication.
conclusionOur results suggest that urgent TEER implantation was associated with an increased risk of in-hospital death and other short-term complications.
