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

We herein report a case of pacemaker lead-related tricuspid regurgitation in a repaired congenital heart disease patient, with a significant improvement in exercise tolerance and liver stiffness after surgery. Optimizing the timing of invasive procedures for tricuspid regurgitation is challenging because of an insufficient ability to predict the outcome, and percutaneous therapies have shown promising advancements in recent years. In this case, close monitoring with abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography facilitated our ability to select the optimal timing for surgical intervention.
