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: As transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is increasingly used in younger and older patients, there is a need to investigate outcomes across all age groups. We investigated age as a risk factor for short-term readmission after transcatheter mitral valve TEER. Methods: We reviewed the National Readmission Database for 2018-2022 to identify patients undergoing TEER and stratified patients into three age groups (<65, 65-80, and >80 years [years]) to compare odds of 30-day and 90-day overall readmissions and heart failure readmissions using logistic regression. Results: Thirty- and 90-day cohorts included 25,648 and 20,586 persons with overall readmission rates of 14.7% and 27.8%, respectively. Compared to those <65 years, the adjusted 30-day odds ratio was 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72-1.16; Conclusions: With similar event rates between older and younger patients, age was not a significant predictor of readmission following TEER at 30 or 90 days. These findings suggest that TEER may offer benefit across age groups among individuals with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. The higher proportion of stroke-related readmissions observed among older patients highlights an urgent need for improved risk stratification strategies tailored for this population.
