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

backgroundAdults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) frequently develop right heart failure, most commonly related to pulmonary regurgitation. Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an underrecognized contributor. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has emerged as an alternative to surgery, but evidence in congenital heart disease remains limited. CASE SUMMARY: We report the first case of isolated tricuspid valve repair using TriClip in an adult with rTOF and severe symptomatic TR. Preprocedural transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated type IIIb anatomy with a 6-mm coaptation gap. The initial clip entrapment resulted in chordal rupture and transient TR worsening. Two additional clips were successfully implanted, leading to significant TR reduction and clinical improvement. DISCUSSION: This case highlights both the feasibility and technical challenges of TEER in complex congenital anatomy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: TR contributes to right heart failure in rTOF. The tricuspid subvalvular apparatus may be fragile; nevertheless, TEER remains feasible and clinically beneficial in selected patients.
