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

backgroundRecent studies on the effects of preoperative tricuspid regurgitation (TR) severity and concomitant tricuspid valve (TV) surgery in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) have yielded conflicting results, complicating the decision making on concomitant TV surgery in AVR.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative TR severity on outcomes of AVR and to assess the impact of concomitant TV surgery.

methodsPatients who underwent AVR from 2000 to 2022 were included. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcome was a composite of mortality, TV-related reoperation, stroke, and heart failure. For patients with moderate TR, the impact of TV surgery was analyzed using the inverse probability of treatment weighting to address for selection bias.

resultsA total of 2,679 consecutive patients (median 7.22 years, Q1-Q3: 4.21-11.83 years) constituted the study cohort. At baseline, TR severity was none-to-trivial, mild, moderate, and severe in 1,688 (63.0%), 731 (27.3%), 215 (8.0%), and 45 (1.7%) patients, respectively. Clinical outcomes demonstrated significant disparities depending on baseline TR severity (P for trend < 0.001). After adjusting for potential covariates, TV surgery did not affect overall survival among patients with moderate TR (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.21-1.50). However, the TV surgery group exhibited a favorable composite outcome and lower TV-related reoperation rate (HR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.15-0.92, and subdistribution HR: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.01-0.63, respectively).

conclusionsIn patients who underwent AVR, baseline TR severity correlated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Concomitant TV surgery reduced the rate of TV-related reoperations, but not mortality, among patients with moderate TR.
