Surgical and Transcatheter Approach of a Failed Mitral Valve Repair: A Comprehensive Review on Selecting the Most Suitable Approach.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 valve regurgitation is the second most common valvular heart disease in Europe, and an estimated 10% of individuals older than 75 years have severe mitral regurgitation. Mitral valve repair is the preferred strategy to treat mitral regurgitation and is associated with better outcomes than mitral valve replacement. Despite the proven efficacy of surgical repair, available data in functional aetiologies reported a non-negligible rate of echocardiographically detected severe mitral regurgitation within ten years of the index procedure, in some cases resulting in redo interventions. Data on the optimal management of patients with failed mitral repair remain limited. The aim of this review is to present the available approaches for treating failed mitral valve repair and to describe criteria for selecting the most appropriate strategy on the basis of the underlying mechanism of repair failure, with respect to possible surgical re-repair and novel transcatheter edge-to-edge repair techniques in the presence of favourable mitral valve anatomies.
