Durability of bioprosthetic cardiac valves.

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
introductionThe choice of type of heart valve prosthesis is determined by the patient's age since bioprostheses have a limited lifespan. This article reviews current recommendations and the literature on cardiac valve replacement.
methodsSelective literature search in Medline/PubMed back to 1996 and review of current national and international recommendations from specialist societies.
resultsThe recommendations guiding the type of heart valve replacement have been revised in recent years. Of particular interest are the new generation of biological prostheses with extended durability, a growing use of stentless bioprostheses, a decrease in mortality of reoperation and an increase in life expectancy. Comorbidities such as chronic renal insufficiency or chronic atrial fibrillation are no longer contraindications to bioprosthesis. The number of heart valve replacements in recent years rose despite a concomitant increase in valve repairs. Aortic valves are being increasingly replaced by bioprostheses. DISCUSSION: The choice of heart valve prosthesis should be tailored to each patient taking into account the patient's age, life expectancy, comorbidities, and life style. Different decisions may be made now than those based on earlier recommendations resulting in an individualized treatment, in patients over the age of 65 or 70.
