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

backgroundInflammatory markers are associated with the severity of disease and outcomes in rheumatic mitral stenosis (RMS). This study explored the connection between newer inflammatory indices - specifically, the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) - and clinical outcomes in RMS patients who underwent percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV).

methodsA total of 131 patients with severe RMS who received PBMV at Tehran Heart Center between August 2015 and February 2021 were assessed. Inflammatory markers were measured prior to the procedure. Echocardiographic parameters, Wilkins scores, and complications were analyzed over a three-year follow-up period. ROC curves and multivariate logistic regression were employed to evaluate predictive associations.

resultsThe average age of participants was 47.9 years, and 79.4% were female. Lower systolic pulmonary pressure and younger age were associated with a greater success rate of PBMV. Frequent complications included mitral regurgitation (47.5%) and readmission (27.5%). Higher levels of NLR, MLR, SII, and SIRI were correlated with increased Wilkins scores. SIRI was an independent predictor of PBMV success.

conclusionSIRI demonstrated the highest predictive capability for PBMV success, with 71% sensitivity and 80% specificity. It was also associated with complications and mid-term outcomes in severe RMS.
