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

backgroundPrevious studies into the effect of a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) on the short- and long-term prognosis of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have reported conflicting findings. We analysed data from the Karlsruhe TAVI registry with the aim of addressing this question. METHODS AND

resultsPatients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI were divided into sub-groups according to EF: severely reduced (<30%; n = 109), reduced (≥30 and ≤40%; n = 201), and mid-range/preserved (>40%; n = 1690). VARC complications at 30 days for the population with severely reduced EF did not differ in comparison to the patients with mid-range/preserved EF. Patients with severely reduced EF had a significantly lower survival at 48 h (91.7 vs. 99.0%; p < 0.001), at 30 days (84.4 vs. 95.8%; p < 0.001) and at 1 year (66.1 vs. 85.0%, p < 0.001) compared to those with mid-range/preserved EF. The risk of death increased with age, peripheral arterial disease, poor self-care and chronic renal failure in patients with severely reduced EF.

conclusionsMortality post-TAVI was higher for patients with a reduced EF, although the excess comorbidity burden likely contributed to this. A reduced EF should not be considered a contraindication for TAVI per se, but the additional presence of comorbidity indicates increased risk for these patients.
