Comparison of outcomes using balloon-expandable versus self-expanding transcatheter prostheses according to the extent of aortic valve calcification.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDevice landing zone (DLZ) calcification is an important determinant of procedural success in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of DLZ calcification on procedural outcome with different types of transcatheter heart valves (THVs).
methodsAortic valve calcium density (AVC
resultsWith BE THV, PVR ≥2° (2.1 vs. 7.9%; p < 0.001), post-dilatation (12.3 vs. 36.6%; p < 0.001), malpositioning (8.4 vs. 13.0%; p = 0.01), device embolization (0.4 vs. 2.6%; p = 0.004), and the need for a second valve (1.2 vs. 3.6%; p = 0.01) were less frequent than with SE devices, but mean transaortic gradients at discharge were higher [12.0 mmHg (8.0-15.0) vs. 9.0 mmHg (6.0-11.0); p < 0.001], and aortic root injury was more frequent (2.7 vs. 0.8%; p = 0.01). In cases of severe calcification, differences between BE and SE THV regarding PVR, post-dilatation, and hemodynamics were mostly pronounced, followed by patients with moderate AVC
conclusionsIn severe and moderate DLZ calcification, BE devices may have advantages, whereas in mild DLZ calcification, SE
