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

backgroundMitral stenosis after mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation is a poor prognostic factor, but there are few reports of long-term postoperative course. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old man who had undergone mitral valve repair 24 years ago visited our hospital with shortness of breath. Exercise stress echocardiography induced mitral stenosis. Multimodality imaging with computed tomography (CT) and transesophageal echocardiography were really useful in detecting the abnormal location of the prosthetic valve ring causing mitral stenosis. DISCUSSION: Wide-coverage CT and image processing using a new motion correction algorithm has allowed the visualization of highly mobile structures and thereby enabled more accurate assessment from previous assessments. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: The exercise stress test is useful in patients with discrepancies between symptoms, physical examination findings, and the examination results at rest. Morphologic evaluation of valve structures combined with CT and transesophageal echocardiography can provide a more detailed pathophysiologic assessment and understanding of causes.
