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

Background Pericardial disease (PD) - acute pericarditis (AP) and pericardial effusion (PE) - is a rare complication of transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR) although its prevalence, predictors, and outcomes are not well studied. Methods We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to find patients who received TAVR between 2011 and 2018. TAVR patients were divided into two groups: with and without PD (AP and/or PE). The baseline characteristics between the two groups were compared using the Chi-square test and student t-test. Variables with a p-value of 0.20 or less from the univariate logistic regression were included in the multivariate logistic regression to find independent predictors of PD in TAVR patients. Results Out of 218,340 TAVR hospitalizations, 4323 (1.2%) had a concurrent diagnosis of PD. TAVR patients with PD were older (81 ± 7 vs 80 ± 6 years, p < 0.05), more likely to be females (62 vs 46%, p < 0.001), white (84.2 vs 82.9%, p = 0.83), and had a higher burden of comorbidities (Table 3). TAVR patients with PD had higher in-hospital mortality rate (12.3 vs 1.9%, p < 0.001), mean length of stay (8.4 vs 5.3 days, p < 0.001), and mean total hospital cost ($283,389 vs $224,544, p < 0.001). Age > 75, female sex, atrial fibrillation (Afib), atrial flutter (Aflutter), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), coagulopathy, cirrhosis, malnutrition, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and pacemaker (PM) implantation were the independent predictors of PD in TAVR patients. Conclusion Older, white females with a higher burden of comorbidities and cardiovascular procedures are at higher risk of pericardial complications of TAVR procedure. Sex-based disparities in the prevalence of PD after TAVR is an area of further research. Careful selection of patients for TAVR is essential to reduce the burden of these complications.
