Mitral annular calcification: implications on clinical outcomes and interventions.
Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a chronic process that presents a complex clinical pathology. In the setting of a growing elderly population, the incidence of MAC has been increasing and it is often associated with other degenerative conditions most importantly atherosclerosis. While its clinical impact has previously been underappreciated, more recent evidence suggests that MAC has significant implications on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity as well as mortality. Commonly MAC is associated with mitral valve disease, which can require non-medical treatment in the form of conventional mitral valve surgery, transcatheter mitral valve replacement or a hybrid approach. The presence of MAC has important implications on both the interventional methods and subsequently on clinical outcomes. This review focuses on the diagnosis, clinical implications, and implications on mitral valve surgery and/or transcatheter interventions of MAC.
