Clinical experience with the miltonia valve: short-term performance of new bi-leaflet mechanical prosthesis in mitral valve replacement surgery.

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
Purpose: This study evaluates the performance of the Miltonia bi-leaflet mechanical prosthesis for mitral valve replacement (MVR). Methodology: Fifty patients were included in this study who underwent MVR using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and mild hypothermia. After surgery, standard postoperative care was provided. Echocardiography was performed preoperatively, postoperatively at discharge, and at a 6-month follow-up to assess hemodynamic performance and detect adverse events. Results: The mean age was 38.88 ± 9.51 years, with a predominance of female patients. The average hospital stay was 9.6 ± 3.8 days. Before surgery, 88% of patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III, 8% in class IV, and 4% in class II. Post-surgery, 92% improved to class I, 4% to class II ( Conclusion: The Miltonia valve showed excellent hemodynamic performance and significant improvement in NYHA functional class.
