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
Objective: To evaluate the impact of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction on outcomes of isolated tricuspid valve surgery. Methods: From 2004 to 2022, 298 patients (age 71.0 ± years, 59.4% female) underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgery. Pulmonary hypertension was defined as right ventricular systolic pressure ≥50 mm Hg, and right ventricular dysfunction as right ventricular fractional area change <32% on preoperative transthoracic echocardiogram. Patients were stratified into 4 groups: group I: No pulmonary hypertension or right ventricular dysfunction (n = 199), group II: pulmonary hypertension without right ventricular dysfunction (n = 45), group III: right ventricular dysfunction without pulmonary hypertension (n = 43), and group IV: pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction (n = 11). Uni- and multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate association of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function with outcomes. Results: Tricuspid valve replacement was performed in 218 (73.2%) and repair in 80 (26.8%) patients. Operative mortality was 4.7%, similar for reoperations (5.2%) and primary procedures (4.5%) ( Conclusions: Among patients who underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgery, presence of pulmonary hypertension or right ventricular dysfunction at baseline is linked to greater long-term mortality.
