Evaluation of the 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines in pre-existing right bundle branch block patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a balloon-expandable 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
Aims: The 2021 European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend early pacemaker implantation in pre-existing right bundle branch block (RBBB) patients who develop PR prolongation or QRS axis change after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aimed to evaluate this recommendation in TAVI recipients with a balloon-expandable valve (BEV). Methods and results: We retrospectively reviewed 188 pre-existing RBBB patients without pre-existing permanent pacemaker (PPM) who underwent TAVI with a BEV at our institution in 2015-19. Patients who developed high-degree atrioventricular block (HAVB) during TAVI or within 24 h post-TAVI were excluded. Eligible patients were divided according to the guideline-directed criteria (ΔPR interval ≥20 ms and/or QRS axis change). Patients who met the criteria ( Conclusion: The present data did not demonstrate an association of significant changes in PR interval or QRS axis with heightened delayed HAVB risk in BEV recipients with pre-existing RBBB. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
