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

objectiveAnnular reduction by cinching with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in commissure has been described to enable valve-in-mitral annular calcification. We applied this technique to a patient with an annuloplasty ring too large to allow for treatment with available transcatheter heart valves. KEY STEPS: The key steps included the following: Gated computed tomography for measurement of annuloplasty ring, anterior mitral leaflet, and estimated neo-left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Transseptal left atrial access is obtained. Mitral transcatheter edge to edge repair (MTEER) is performed with preference for A3-P3 implant. Adjunctive antegrade base-to-tip laceration of the anterior mitral valve leaflet to prevent LVOT obstruction is performed if indicated. Transcatheter heart valve (THV) delivery and deployment. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: The potential pitfalls included the following: Medial deployment of the MTEER device is preferred due to the tendency of the THV to engage the lateral mitral anulus during advancement. Assessment of the neo-LVOT must consider the left ventricular septum and the anterior mitral leaflet. The degree of annular change after MTEER is unknown. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In the setting of a mitral annuloplasty ring larger than commercially available THVs, annular reduction by cinching with TEER in commissure in conventionally inappropriate ring for transcatheter valve may be a viable option for enabling transcatheter mitral valve replacement.
