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

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) and is an established determinant of adverse outcomes after intervention. Importantly, persistent PH after technically successful M-TEER remains associated with ongoing symptoms, right ventricular dysfunction and poor prognosis, yet no dedicated treatment strategy has been established. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) in patients with persistent PH following successful M-TEER. Six patients (median age 69.0 years; 1 female) with WHO Group 2 PH and persistent symptoms despite successful M-TEER underwent PADN at a median of 583 days after valve repair. All patients had trace to mild residual MR (grade 1+) with median mean mitral valve gradient 3.0 mmHg. Right heart catheterization (RHC) was performed at baseline, immediately post-PADN, and at 6-month follow-up. Immediately post-PADN, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) decreased from 38.5 (3.8) mmHg to 34.0 (11.5) mmHg (
