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

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Despite its marked clinical impact, no previous study has reported how PVL affects the intraventricular fluid dynamics. This study aims to delineate vortex interaction between PVL and transmitral flow and the influence of PVL orifice location on intraventricular fluid dynamics using Echocardiographic Particle Image Velocimetry. Three different conditions of no PVL, anterior PVL and posterior PVL were experimentally studied and clinically compared. Circulation, impulse, kinetic energy (KE) and change in KE (ΔKE) were calculated. As well, vortex formation analyses and streamline description were performed to study vortex interactions. The anterior PVL jet streamed into the LV and interfered with the transmitral flow. Posterior PVL jet formed a large clockwise vortex and collided with transmitral flow, which resulted in flow disturbance. Compared to no PVL condition, average circulation, impulse, KE and ΔKE increased in presence of PVL. In conclusion, we found that PVL jets lead to abnormal vortex formation that interfere with natural advancement of transmitral flow, and negatively affect the LV fluid dynamics parameters. PVL orifice location strongly affects the intraventricular vortex formation, and posterior PVL may have more negative effects compared to anterior PVL.
