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

Background: Although mitral valve repair typically leads to left atrial reverse remodeling, persistent left atrial enlargement is associated with poor prognosis. Factors contributing to postoperative left atrial enlargement remain poorly understood. Left atrial strain analysis may offer supplementary evaluation of left atrial function, complementing conventional volume-based assessments. Methods and Results: Echocardiographic data of 76 patients who underwent mitral valve repair for primary mitral regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse were retrospectively analyzed. Left atrial volume index and strain parameters were evaluated preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Predictors of postoperative left atrial enlargement (left atrial volume index ≥34 mL/m Conclusions: Left atrial early longitudinal strain rate is an independent predictor of postoperative left atrial enlargement following mitral valve repair, providing valuable prognostic information.
