Port-Access Robotic Repair of Barlow Mitral Annular Disjunction and Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 disjunction (MAD) is associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias and progressive mitral regurgitation. We describe a 35-year-old man with a history of sudden cardiac death who presented with palpitations and recurrent ventricular arrhythmias. Remote transthoracic echocardiography showed no structural abnormality, with repeated transthoracic echocardiography demonstrating only mild mitral regurgitation. During this admission, transesophageal echocardiography revealed severe mitral regurgitation from Barlow disease with profound MAD. Port-access robotic mitral valve repair eliminated mitral regurgitation and corrected MAD. This case underscores that ventricular arrhythmias may precede valve disease, warranting high suspicion for MAD in young patients with arrhythmias and mild mitral regurgitation.
