Value of three-dimensional imaging in tricuspid valve stenosis: a case series.

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
backgroundRheumatic tricuspid stenosis (TS) is a rare and easily missed clinical finding until late stages. Two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) can assess the leaflet thickening and transvalvular gradients, which may be misleading in the presence of significant TR. Moreover, it lacks en face views of the tricuspid valve (TV), making the diagnosis of TS challenging. Meanwhile, three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) effectively visualizes commissural fusion and sub-valvular thickening, enabling accurate tracing of the orifice area. CASE PRESENTATION: The authors present a case series discussing rheumatic and non-rheumatic TV stenosis to emphasize the role of 3DE in identifying the key findings in rheumatic stenotic TV and distinguishing them from other non-rheumatic etiologies.
conclusionsThis case series demonstrated that 2DE has limitations in diagnosing TV stenosis, whereas 3DE provides a clear view of features such as commissural fusion and chordal thickening. Therefore, 3DE is essential in addition to 2DE for improved imaging of TV diseases, allowing accurate tracing of the orifice area, regardless of regurgitation.
