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

backgroundThe purpose of this paper was to evaluate the difference in postoperative outcomes following multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-based annulus sizing for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

methodsElectronic search of PubMed, Biomed Central, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was conducted until August 15, 2019. We included all types of studies comparing MDCT-based annulus sizing with TEE-based annulus sizing and assessing paravalvular regurgitation (PVR). Data were summarized using the Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

resultsA total of six studies were included. Pooled analysis of 431 participants in the MDCT group and 509 participants in the TEE group demonstrated that MDCT-based annulus sizing is associated with a significantly lower incidence of more than moderate PVR as compared to 2DTEE-based sizing (OR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.18-0.54, P < .0001; I

conclusionUse of MDCT in comparison with 2DTEE is associated with significantly lower incidence of more than moderate PVR after TAVR. There seems to be no difference in annulus rupture and 30-day mortality with either imaging modality.
