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

backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve replacement is routinely performed with a "minimalist approach" using conscious sedation. Conversely, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is performed with general anesthesia using transesophageal echocardiography. Performing TTVR using conscious sedation and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) alone has not been described. CASE SUMMARY: We present a patient with NYHA functional class III symptoms secondary to severe tricuspid regurgitation. Our team deemed the patient at high risk for surgical therapy and decided that TTVR with the Evoque system would be ideal. With monitored anesthesia care, imaging was performed using three-dimensional ICE. Evoque positioning and deployment was uneventful, with normal anchoring and trivial central tricuspid regurgitation. DISCUSSION: It is feasible to perform Evoque TTVR with a minimalist approach using conscious sedation and ICE. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: In select patients, TTVR with Evoque using conscious sedation and ICE alone is possible.
