Causal Relationship of the Transverse Left Ventricular Band and Bicuspid Aortic Valve.

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.
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
objectivesBicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital lesion found in adults. It can be seen in combination with a transverse left ventricular (LV) band. This study aimed to find an essential relationship between the presence of transverse ventricular band and BAV.
methodsA total of 13 patients from a tertiary care centre in India with transverse LV band were investigated during a six-month period from January 2019 to July 2019. LV band thickness and gradients at the site of the LV band were evaluated as part of its effect on LV haemodynamics. The morphology of the aortic valve and LV outflow tract gradients was assessed.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 41 years. A majority had a BAV (n = 11). Average thickness of the LV band was 6.2 mm and the average mean aortic gradient was 4 mmHg. Sequestration of blood was noted at the level of the transverse band in all the patients with two separate jets at the left ventricular outflow tract. The anterolateral jet was deflected from the transverse band and showed higher velocity compared to the other jet, causing turbulence at the BAV. No correlation was found between the thickness of the transverse band and aortic valve gradient.
conclusionPresence of a robust transverse LV band can serve as a surrogate marker for BAV.
