Outcomes following totally endoscopic mitral valve replacement versus mitral valve replacement through right thoracotomy: a prospective randomized controlled study.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Total endoscopic video-assisted mitral valve replacement represents a comparatively new advancement in cardiac surgery. It is associated with cosmetic benefits, minimal pain, and shorter hospital stay than right anterolateral thoracotomy approach of minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Our study aims to delineate the advantages and disadvantages of these two minimally invasive techniques along with the relative improvement of quality of life. In this prospective randomized study, 40 patients undergoing isolated mitral valve replacement via right anterolateral thoracotomy approach (group A) and 40 patients undergoing the same procedure using the totally endoscopic method (group B) were randomly selected. Immediate postoperative outcomes, including duration of intensive care unit and hospital stay, were analyzed. Additionally, outcomes were assessed at 1 and 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year. Group B exhibited significantly lower pain scores (
