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

The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) represents a complex anatomic scenario for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) because of its unique technical challenges. As TAVR is moving towards younger and lower-risk populations, the proportion of BAV patients undergoing TAVR is expected to rise. Initial experiences of TAVR with first-generation transcatheter heart valves in high surgical risk patients with BAV stenosis showed higher rates of device failure and periprocedural complications as compared to tricuspid anatomy. The subsequent advances in imaging techniques and understanding of BAV anatomy, new iterations of transcatheter heart valves, and growing operators' experience yielded better outcomes. However, in the lack of randomized trials and rigorous evidence, the field of TAVR in BAV has been driven by empirical observations, with wide variability in transcatheter heart valve sizing and implantation techniques across different centers and operators. Thus, in this review article, we provide a fully illustrated overview of operative periprocedural steps for TAVR in BAV stenosis, though recognizing that it still remains anecdotal.
