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

aimsWe sought to evaluate haemodynamic prosthetic valve performance in patients with early leaflet thrombosis (LT) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). METHOD AND

resultsIn this retrospective observational study, 59 patients with LT underwent clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. During a median follow-up of 383 days 41 patients received antiplatelet therapy (APT-group) and 18 patients oral anticoagulation due to atrial fibrillation (AC-group). The mean pressure gradient (MPG) at baseline did not differ between groups (P = 0.875). During follow-up, MPG increased from 11.0 (9.0; 14.5) to 13.0 mmHg (10.0; 18.0)_ in the APT-group (P = 0.010) but remained unchanged in the AC-group (P = 0.297) resulting in a significantly higher MPG in patients on antiplatelet therapy (P = 0.024). Similarly, change of MPG per year was significantly higher in the APT-group [1.4 (- 0.9; 7.0) vs. - 0.6 (- 2.5; 1.1), P = 0.014]. Seven (17.1%) patients in the APT-group and two(11.1%) patients in the AC-group developed MPGs of at least 20 mmHg (P = 0.558). Three patients (7.3%) in the APT- and none in the AC-group developed symptoms of obstructive thrombosis (P = 0.239). In our adjusted analysis, only lack of anticoagulation was significantly associated with change in gradients during follow-up (P = 0.012).

conclusionsIn patients with LT, antiplatelet-, but not anticoagulant therapy, was associated with significant increases in MPG, which may lead to symptomatic obstructive valve thrombosis.
