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: To characterize the natural history, predictors, and clinical outcomes of de novo severe functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following the Ross procedure. Methods: At a single institution, 699 consecutive adults without preoperative severe TR undergoing the Ross procedure between 2011 and 2025 were reviewed. De novo severe TR was defined as TR grade ≥3 within 6 months postoperatively. Propensity score overlap weighting was used to balance 21 covariates between patients who developed de novo severe TR and those who did not. Weighted generalized estimating equations were used to analyze longitudinal TR trajectories. Predictors were identified using LASSO regression. Survival and reintervention were compared using weighted Kaplan-Meier and Aalen-Johansen methods. Results: De novo severe TR occurred in 61 patients (8.7%), appearing at a median of 5 days postoperatively. The groups demonstrated significantly different TR trajectories ( Conclusions: De novo severe TR after the Ross procedure is common but transient, resolving spontaneously without any adverse impact on survival or need for reintervention. These findings support a conservative management strategy with echocardiographic surveillance.
