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
Transient left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication after mitral valve surgery. It is primarily caused by systolic anterior motion (SAM) of the mitral valve and postoperative geometric changes involving the left ventricle and aorto-mitral angle. Despite advances in perioperative imaging, evidence regarding the mechanisms, predisposing factors, and management of postoperative LVOTO following mitral interventions remains limited. This systematic review was registered in International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD420251127617) and conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Google Scholar, and ProQuest were searched for reports of postoperative LVOTO following mitral valve surgery published through July 2025. Eligible studies comprised observational studies, case series, and case reports describing clinically or imaging-confirmed LVOTO after mitral valve intervention. Thirty studies (28 case reports, one case series, and one cohort study) comprising 58 patients were included. Most patients were elderly women with degenerative or rheumatic mitral disease. Predisposing anatomical features included an elongated anterior mitral leaflet, a small native or neo-LV outflow tract, a narrow aorto-mitral angle, and basal septal hypertrophy. SAM was documented in more than two-thirds of cases. Management strategies ranged from medical therapy to surgical or transcatheter septal or leaflet modification, with generally favorable clinical outcomes. Postoperative LVOTO following mitral valve surgery results from complex geometric interactions among the mitral leaflets, interventricular septum, and LVOT. Identification of high-risk anatomical features through quantitative imaging may support anticipatory procedural planning and facilitate timely intervention, potentially improving perioperative safety.
