Successful repair of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation with concomitant atrial septal perforation and right ventricular pseudoaneurysm: a case report.

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
backgroundValvular injuries in chest trauma mostly affect the aortic and mitral valves, but traumatic tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains rare. This report describes the successful repair of traumatic TR secondary to papillary muscle rupture complicated with right ventricular (RV) free wall injury and atrial septal perforation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old male suffered blunt chest trauma from a tree fall, leading to multiple fractures, mediastinal hematoma, and hemoperitoneum caused by splenic bleeding. Given that heart failure worsened eventually, echocardiography was conducted on day 7, showing significant TR resulting from leaflet prolapse caused by papillary muscle rupture with concomitant 4.8 mm atrial septal perforation and focal RV free wall thinning. Nonetheless, the heart failure was responsive to medical treatment. The patient was then scheduled for surgery 1 month later. The atrial septal defect was closed via direct suture closure. The RV free wall injury presented with scarring and did not require repair. The tricuspid valve repair included suturing the ruptured medial papillary muscle to the RV wall, reconstructing the ruptured posterior leaflet chordae with prosthetic chordae, and securing an annuloplasty ring. Consequently, TR was completely controlled.
conclusionsTraumatic tricuspid valve injuries are rare. The optimal timing of surgery for traumatic TR remains controversial. However, early diagnosis and intervention are recommended to prevent progressive RV dysfunction and improve the success of tricuspid valve repair.
