Novel In Vitro Test Systems and Insights for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Design, Part I: Paravalvular Leakage.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
While transcatheter mitral valve (TMV) replacement technology has great clinical potential for surgically inoperable patients suffering from mitral regurgitation, no TMV has yet achieved regulatory approval. The diversity of devices currently under development reflects a lack of consensus regarding optimal design approaches. In Part I of this two-part study, a test system was developed for the quantification of paravalvular leakage (PVL) following deployment of a TMV or TMV-like device in pressurized, explanted porcine hearts (N = 7). Using this system, PVL rate was investigated as a function of steady trans-mitral pressure (ΔP), TMV shape, and TMV-annular oversizing, using a series of "mock TMV plug" devices. Across all devices, PVL was found to approximately trend with the square of ΔP. PVL rates were approximately 0-15 mL/s under hypotensive pressure, 10-40 mL/s under normotension, and 30-85 mL/s under severe hypertension. D-shaped devices significantly reduced PVL vs. circular devices; however, this effect was diminished upon oversizing to the annulus by 6 mm inter-trigonal distance. In conclusion, this steady pressure, in vitro test system was effective to compare PVL performance across TMV-like designs. PVL exhibited complex dynamics in terms of its response to transvalvular pressure and TMV profile.
