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

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is being extended to younger patients. However, TAVR-compatible bioprostheses are based on xenogeneic materials with limited durability. Off-the-shelf tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs) with remodeling capacity may overcome the shortcomings of current TAVR devices. Here, we develop for the first time a TEHV for TAVR, based on human cell-derived extracellular matrix and integrated into a state-of-the-art stent for TAVR. The TEHVs, characterized by a dense acellular collagenous matrix, demonstrated in vitro functionality under aortic pressure conditions (n = 4). Next, transapical TAVR feasibility and in vivo TEHV functionality were assessed in acute studies (n = 5) in sheep. The valves successfully coped with the aortic environment, showing normal leaflet motion, free coronary flow, and absence of stenosis or paravalvular leak. At explantation, TEHVs presented full structural integrity and initial cell infiltration. Its long-term performance proven, such TEHV could fulfill the need for next-generation lifelong TAVR prostheses.
