The impact of bicuspid aortic valve morphology on von Willebrand factor function in patients with severe aortic stenosis and its change after TAVI.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAortic stenosis (AS) can cause acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) and valve replacement has been shown to lead to von Willebrand factor (vWF) recovery. The aim of the current study was to investigate the prevalence of AVWS in different severe AS phenotypes and its course after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
methods143 patients with severe AS undergoing TAVI were included in the study. vWF function was assessed at baseline, 6 and 24 h after TAVI. AVWS was defined as a reduced vWF:Ac/Ag ratio ≤ 0.7. Phenotypes were classified by tricuspid (TAV) and bicuspid (BAV) valve morphology, mean transvalvular gradient (P
resultsAVWS was present in 36 (25.2%) patients before TAVI. vWF:Ac/Ag ratio was significantly lower in high gradient compared to low-gradient severe AS [0.78 (IQR 0.67-0.86) vs. 0.83 (IQR 0.74-0.93), p < 0.05] and in patients with BAV compared to TAV [0.70 (IQR 0.63-0.78) vs. 0.81 (IQR 0.71-0.89), p < 0.05]. Normalization of vWF:Ac/Ag ratio was achieved in 61% patients 24 h after TAVI. As in the overall study cohort, vWF:Ac/Ag ratio increased significantly in all severe AS subgroups 6 h after TAVI (each p < 0.05). Regarding binary logistic regression analysis, BAV was the only significant predictor for AVWS.
conclusionsBAV morphology is a strong predictor for AVWS in severe AS. TAVI restores vWF function in most patients with severe AS independently of AS phenotype and valve morphology.
