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

backgroundPulmonary artery catheter (PAC) entrapment is a rare but serious complication caused by inadvertent suturing to cardiac or vascular structures. CASE PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old man underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair via right mini-thoracotomy. Thirty minutes after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), pulmonary artery pressure suddenly dropped, and the waveform became identical to that of central venous pressure. Two centimeters of PAC mobility, aspiration of blood from the balloon port, and blood accumulation in the monitor connector were noted. On postoperative day 1, resistance was encountered during catheter withdrawal at 7 cm, and chest radiography revealed abnormal catheter curvature. Reoperation under CPB confirmed PAC entrapment at the left atriotomy suture line, and the catheter was successfully removed.

conclusionsIn minimally invasive mitral valve repair, a left atriotomy approach might be associated with a risk of PAC entrapment, and the option of not inserting a PAC should always be considered.
