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

Objective: Massive or torrential tricuspid regurgitation is associated with poor survival; however, its impact on surgical results remains uncertain. Outcomes following tricuspid valve surgery in patients with severe versus massive or torrential tricuspid regurgitation were compared. Methods: From 2010-2024, 164 symptomatic patients (mean age 71.2 ± 10.4 years) with severe (n = 69, 42%) or massive/torrential tricuspid regurgitation (n = 95, 58%) underwent tricuspid valve surgery, with or without concomitant procedures. Postoperative tricuspid regurgitation grade was the primary endpoint. Mortality and heart failure hospitalization predictors were analyzed. The mean follow-up was 4.6 ± 3.9 years. Results: Tricuspid repair was performed more frequent in patients with severe than with massive/torrential tricuspid regurgitation (96% vs 80%, Conclusions: Tricuspid valve surgery for severe or massive/torrential tricuspid regurgitation can be performed with low perioperative mortality, and provides favorable long-term outcomes. Prognosis is determined primarily by baseline cardiac and renal function, rather than preoperative tricuspid regurgitation severity.
