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

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with worse outcomes in high-surgical-risk patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, it is unclear whether this relationship is apparent in lower-surgical-risk patients. We sought to analyze existing literature to assess whether or not advanced CKD is associated with increased mortality or a greater incidence of adverse events (specifically major stroke, bleeding, and vascular complications). We searched PubMed and Embase (2008-2017) for relevant studies. Studies with <1 year follow-up and those not evaluating advanced CKD or outcomes post-TAVR were excluded. Our co-primary endpoints were the incidence of short-term mortality (defined as in-hospital or 30-day mortality) and long-term mortality (1 year). Our secondary endpoints included incidence of major stroke, life-threatening bleeding, and major vascular complications. Eleven observational studies with a total population of 10709 patients met the selection criteria. Among patients with CKD there was an increased risk of short- and long-term mortality in high-surgical-risk patients who underwent TAVR (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22-1.88 and HR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.38-1.77, respectively; P < 0.01). However, there was no association between CKD and mortality in low- to intermediate-risk patients (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 0.98-1.84, P = 0.06 in short-term and HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.92-1.27, P = 0.34 in long-term). In low- to intermediate-risk TAVR patients, advanced CKD is not associated with increased mortality or poorer safety outcomes. These findings should be factored into the clinical decision-making process regarding TAVR candidacy.
