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

backgroundOne third of high- and prohibitive-risk TAVR patients remain severely symptomatic or die 1 year after treatment. There is interest in identifying individuals for whom this procedure is futile and should not be offered.

methodsWe performed a systematic review of the highest reported stratum of risk in TAVR clinical predictive models (CPMs). We explore whether currently available predictive models can identify patients for whom TAVR is futile, based on a quantitative futility definition and the observed and predicted outcomes for patients in the highest stratum of risk.

results17 TAVR CPMs representing 69,191 treated patients were published from 2013 to 2018. When reported, the median number of patients in the highest stratum of risk was 569 (range 1 to 1759). Observed mortality for this risk stratum ranged from 9% at 30 days to 59% at 1 year after TAVR. Statistical confidence in these observed event rates was low. The highest predicted event rates ranged from 11.0% for in-hospital mortality to 75.1% for the composite of mortality or high symptom burden 1 year after TAVR.

conclusionNo high-risk TAVR group in currently available TAVR CPMs had an appropriate event rate and adequate statistical power to meet a quantitative definition of futility.
