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

purpose of reviewMitral regurgitation is a common and heterogeneous valve disease, with its prevalence increasing due to aging populations. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles of transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the evaluation of mitral regurgitation (MR). RECENT

findingsMR encompasses a spectrum of pathologies, ranging from degenerative leaflet prolapse to functional regurgitation caused by left ventricular remodeling. Accurate assessment of regurgitation is challenging and requires a multiparametric, comprehensive approach. TTE remains the primary imaging modality used to evaluate mitral valve structure, determine the severity of regurgitation, and related hemodynamic effects. TEE provides higher-resolution imaging for more detailed anatomical assessment, particularly valuable in surgical planning and transcatheter mitral procedures. The introduction of 3D echocardiography has further improved mitral valve imaging, allowing accurate preprocedural assessment and real-time guidance during structural interventions. Both TTE and TEE play essential and complementary roles in the thorough evaluation of MR. A multiparametric approach ensures accurate characterization of the regurgitation severity.
