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

backgroundMutations in the clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP)-driver genes DNMT3A and TET2 have been previously shown to be associated with short-term prognosis in patients undergoing TAVR for aortic valve stenosis. We aimed to extend and characterize these findings on long-term outcome in a large cohort.

methodsA total of 453 consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were included in an up to 4-year follow-up study. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify DNMT3A- and/or TET2-CHIP-driver mutations. Primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Since CHIP-driver mutations appear to be closely related to DNA methylation, results were also assessed in patients who never smoked, a factor known to interfere with DNA methylation.

resultsDNMT3A-/TET2-CHIP-driver mutations were present in 32.4% of patients (DNMT3A n = 92, TET2 n = 71), and were more frequent in women (52.4% vs. 38.9%, p = 0.007) and older participants (83.3 vs. 82.2 years, p = 0.011), while clinical characteristics or blood-derived parameters did not differ. CHIP-driver mutations were associated with a significantly higher mortality up to 4 years after TAVR in both univariate (p = 0.031) and multivariate analyses (HR 1.429, 95%CI 1.014-2.013, p = 0.041). The difference was even more pronounced (p = 0.011) in never smokers. Compared to TET2 mutation carriers, patients with DNMT3A mutations had significantly less frequently concomitant coronary and peripheral artery disease.

conclusionDNMT3A- and TET2-CHIP-driver mutations are associated with long-term mortality in patients with aortic valve stenosis even after a successful TAVR. The association is also present in never smokers, in whom no biasing effect from smoking on DNA methylation is to be expected.
