Plasma volume status predicting clinical outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimsPlasma volume status (PVS) is recognized as a marker of systemic congestion, but its clinical utility in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) has not been well established. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of PVS in these patients. METHODS AND
resultsData from 3763 patients who underwent M-TEER were analysed from a Japanese multicentre registry. Patients were classified into functional MR (FMR) and degenerative MR (DMR) according to MR aetiology, and the median PVS values for each were calculated (FMR 12.7, DMR 14.4). The median value was used as the cut-off, stratifying the cohort into a high PVS group (n = 1882) and a low PVS group (n = 1881). All-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and heart failure (HF) hospitalization between these two groups were compared up to 3 years in the overall, FMR, and DMR populations. The cumulative incidence rates of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and HF hospitalization were higher in the high PVS group than in the low PVS group (47.0% vs. 22.2%, P < 0.001, 31.6% vs. 13.6%, P < 0.001, and 35.9% vs. 24.7%, P < 0.001, respectively). Similar trends in terms of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, and HF hospitalization were observed in the FMR and DMR cohorts (all P < 0.05). In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, the high PVS compared with the low PVS group was independently associated with the increased risk of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.03; P < 0.001), cardiovascular death (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03, P < 0.001) and HF hospitalization (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.02, P < 0.001). An independent association between a high PVS and all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and HF hospitalization was also found in FMR and DMR sub-groups (all P < 0.05) while reducing MR severity to moderate or less after M-TEER was associated with improved outcomes in both the high and low PVS groups.
conclusionsPreoperative PVS is a strong independent prognostic marker in patients undergoing M-TEER, correlating with increased risk of mortality and HF hospitalization. PVS may provide valuable clinical insights for patient stratification and management strategies in M-TEER patients.
