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

Paravalvular leaks (PVLs) may lead to hemolysis. In vitro shear stress forces above 300 Pa cause erythrocyte destruction. PVL channel dimensions may determine magnitude of shear stress forces that affect erythrocytes; however, this has not been tested. It remains unclear how different properties of PVL channels contribute to presence of hemolysis. A model of a left ventricle was created based on data from computer tomography with Slicer software PVLs of various shapes and sizes were introduced. Blood flow was simulated using ANSYS Fluent software. The following variables were examined: wall shear stress, shear stress in fluid, volume of PVL channel with shear stress exceeding 300 Pa, and duration of exposure of erythrocytes to shear stress values above 300 Pa. In all models, shear stress forces exceeded 300 Pa. Shear stress increased with blood flow rates and cross-sectional areas of any PVL. There was no linear relationship between cross-sectional area of a PVL and volume of a PVL channel with shear stress > 300 Pa. Blood flow through mitral PVLs is associated with shear stress above 300 Pa. Cross-sectional area of a PVL does not correlate with volume of a PVL channel with shear stress > 300 Pa and duration of exposure of erythrocytes to shear stress > 300 Pa.
