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

backgroundWhile short-term outcomes for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have long been studied, there is very little data on their predictors. We aimed to identify the predictors of outcomes, such as intensive care unit (ICU) and in-hospital length of stay (LOS), duration of postoperative intubation and in-hospital mortality, after TAVI procedures.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 162 consecutive patients with aortic valve disease, who were admitted to a tertiary hospital of Liverpool for TAVI, during a five-year period. The data was collected using of the hospital's structured database on November 2014.

resultsBy using a multivariate analysis we found that any postoperative bleeding [odds ratio (OR) 2.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.41-5.24] was the independent predictor of prolonged ICU-LOS, while older age (OR 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05-1.17) and transapical TAVI (OR 4.11; 95% CI: 1.94-8.71) were the predictors of prolonged in-hospital LOS. Additionally, patients treated with oral inotropic agents, preoperatively (OR 5.77; 95% CI: 2.21-15.01), non-diabetics (OR 3.07; 95% CI: 1.12-8.42) and those with any postoperative bleeding (OR 3.53; 95% CI: 1.68-7.43) had a significantly greater probability in remaining intubated postoperatively. The multivariate analysis did not reveal any predictor of in-hospital mortality.

conclusionsThe above predictors permit the early identification of TAVI patients at high risk for longer hospitalization and increased mechanical ventilation. This piece of information is crucial for clinicians and administrators contributing to more efficient patient care planning and better allocation of healthcare resources.
