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: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a challenging condition, particularly in advanced stages. Transcatheter therapies are emerging as viable alternatives for selected patients. Case summary: We present an 85-year-old woman with longstanding right heart failure symptoms and torrential TR who underwent edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER), complicated by single leaflet partial device attachment (SLDA). Her condition deteriorated, with readmission for decompensated heart failure. Given persistent torrential TR, clinical deterioration, and unsuitable anatomy for further leaflet-based repair due to septal leaflet plastering, she underwent successful transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) with a newly available 56-mm prosthesis. The patient experienced symptomatic and haemodynamic improvement. Discussion: This case highlights the limitations of leaflet-based repair in anatomically complex TR and supports TTVR as an effective alternative even in SLDA cases. The availability of newer, larger valve sizes expands its feasibility, reinforcing its role in patients previously considered unsuitable for intervention.
