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 reviewTo determine what influences patients and physicians to choose between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in intermediate-surgical-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. RECENT

findingsAdvances in transcatheter valve technology, techniques, and trials demonstrating non-inferiority compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) have led to expanded eligibility of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to both intermediate-risk patients in clinical practice and low-risk patients in pivotal trials. Since lower-risk individuals tend to be younger and good operative candidates, concerns of valve durability, procedure-related morbidity, and patient survivability require careful consideration. Results from the PARTNER II intermediate risk trials and SURTAVI trials have given us insight into the benefits and potential risks of both treatment modalities. In this article, we review the brief yet remarkable history of TAVR and discuss its role in the treatment of intermediate-surgical-risk patients.
