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

Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR) might be an alternative option to reduce tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with sarcopenia. Psoas muscle area (PMA) measured using computed tomography (CT) is known as a marker of sarcopenia. We investigated the association of PMA with procedural and clinical outcomes following TTVR. We retrospectively measured left and right PMA using pre-procedural CT in patients undergoing TTVR. Low PMA was defined as the total PMA < 20.3 cm
