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

purposeThe anti-thrombotic approach in individuals undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) mirrors a controversial field in clinical practice. METHODS/

resultsThe aim of this article was to critically appraise the randomized controlled GALILEO trial, where two different antithrombotic regimes (10 mg rivaroxaban + 3 months aspirin vs. aspirin + 3 months clopidogrel) were compared in patients who underwent TAVR as well as available evidence in literature in this field.

conclusionThe GALILEO trial was prematurely terminated as a consequence of increased risk of both death or thromboembolic complications and a higher risk of bleeding in the anticoagulation arm, compared to the antiplatelet-based strategy. Various concerns have been raised that the negative results of the GALILEO trial need to be regarded with caution. A routine use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) for the prevention of atherothrombotic events and valve thrombosis after TAVR in individuals who do not have an indication for oral anticoagulation, can currently not be recommended when considering the evidence base of available literature. However, the negative results of the GALILEO trial need to be interpreted with caution - especially in terms of dose of rivaroxaban - and should not discourage from performing further trials investigating safety and efficacy of this therapeutic approach. Additionally, further dose-finding trials for rivaroxaban should be considered.
