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
Background: Data on racial/ethnic and sex disparities in the utilization and outcomes of tricuspid valve surgery (TVS) in the United States are scarce. The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of race/ethnicity and sex on the utilization and outcomes of TVS. Methods: The authors analyzed the National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2020 to identify hospitalizations for TVS. Racial/ethnic and sex disparities in TVS outcomes were determined using logistic regression models. Results: Between 2016 and 2020, 19 395 hospitalizations for TVS were identified. The utilization rate (number of surgeries/100,000 hospitalizations) was lower in Black and Hispanic patients compared with White patients for surgical tricuspid valve repair (STVr) (331 versus 493 versus 634, Conclusions: Significant racial/ethnic and sex disparities exist in the utilization of TVS in the United States. Further studies are needed to understand the reasons for these disparities and to identify effective strategies for their mitigation.
