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

backgroundPercutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (PBAV) is an alternative to surgical valvulotomy for the treatment of congenital aortic stenosis (AS). This article aims to summarize our preliminary experience on feasibility and safety of PBAV under only echocardiographic guidance in patients with congenital AS.

methodsClinical data from 20 consecutive patients with aortic valve stenosis who underwent PBAV under only echocardiographic guidance at Fuwai Hospital from January 2016 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Median age of patients was 18.38±15.88 years and 65% of the patients were male. Aortic annulus diameter was 18.40±3.25 mm and balloon diameter was 17.38±3.89 mm, with B/A ratio of 0.93±0.06.

resultsAll the patients successfully underwent PBAV. The peak transaortic gradient (TG) significantly decreased from 81.59±24.91 (range, 58-112) mmHg preoperatively to 36.32±12.83 (range, 16-51) mmHg (P=0.000) immediately post operation, without significant difference in aortic regurgitation (AR). At mean 24.31±17.35 months follow-up, peak TG was 37.06±13.52 (range, 21-58) mmHg which was not significantly different from the immediate postoperative value (P=0.65).

conclusionsIn this retrospective, single center study, systematic use of Doppler echocardiography as only guidance modality for PBAV was feasible and associated with a high success rate and a very low complication rate.
