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

objectivesWe herein report a single-center experience with the Portico TAVI system. Main focus was set on outcomes in patients with impaired left ventricular (LV) function and predictors for permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation.

methodsBetween 05/2014 and 10/2017, 106 consecutive patients received TAVI using the Portico device. For comparison of patients with/without impaired LV function, and determination of multi-slice computed tomography and electrocardiogram correlates for PPM implantation subgroups were built (Subgroup I: LVEF ≥ 50%, n = 69, Subgroup II: LVEF < 50%, n = 37; Subgroup A: no PPM implantation, n = 89; Subgroup B: PPM implantation, n = 17). Data were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsDevice success was 95.3% (101/106) with resulting transvalvular peak/mean pressure gradients of 10.6 ± 5.6/5.4 ± 3.1 and PVL ≥ moderate in 5/106 patients (4.7%). 30-day mortality was 4.7% (5/106; subgroup I 3/69, 4.3%; subgroup II 2/37, 5.4%; p = 1.0). Regarding VARC-2 adjudicated clinical endpoints stroke (3/106, 2.8%; subgroups I/II: 2/69 vs. 1/37, p = 1.0) and acute kidney injury (9/106, 8.5%; subgroups I/II: 6/69 vs. 3/37, p = 1.0), no significant differences were found. Postprocedural PPM implantation occurred in 17.9% (19/106) of the patients. Logistic regression for PPM implantation demonstrated predictive character of left coronary cusp (LCC) calcium load in zone 1 (annular plane to coronary ostia) (p = 0.05, threshold 193 mm

conclusionsThe Portico valve demonstrates a satisfying safety outcome, especially for patients with impaired LV function. Results of the CE-mark trial were confirmed, except for higher PPM rates. PPM rates are in accordance with other reports on this TAVI platform.
