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

purpose of reviewWe will describe and define the current diagnosis, management, and potential therapy for low-flow aortic stenosis (AS) states, as well as summarize the available evidence underlying these recommendations. RECENT

findingsLow-flow aortic stenosis syndromes have worse prognoses than traditionally defined normal flow severe aortic stenosis. In this setting, aortic valve replacement is the only therapy that improves outcomes. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has an ever-expanding role in the treatment of aortic stenosis, and there is growing evidence that TAVR may be a preferred therapy for low-flow AS states. Aortic stenosis remains one of the most common valvular diseases requiring therapy. Low-flow AS represents up to 40% of all patients with AS and is associated with significant mortality. This condition requires further testing for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Low-flow AS states have poor prognoses, thus AVR and especially TAVR have a growing role in treatment of this challenging subset of AS patients.
