Transcatheter heart valve commissural alignment: an updated review.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) indications recently extended to lower surgical risk patients with longer life expectancy. Commissural alignment (CA) is one of the emerging concepts and is becoming one of the cornerstones of the TAVR procedure in a patient with increased longevity. Indeed, CA may improve transcatheter heart valve (THV) hemodynamics, future coronary access, and repeatability. The definition of CA has been recently standardized by the ALIGN-TAVR consortium using a four-tier scale based on CT analysis. Progress has been made during the index TAVR procedure to optimize CA, especially with self-expandable platforms. Indeed, specific delivery catheter orientation, THV rotation, and computed-tomography-derived views have been proposed to achieve a reasonable degree of CA. Recent data demonstrate feasibility, safety, and a significant reduction in coronary overlap using these techniques, especially with self-expandable platforms. This review provides an overview of THV CA including assessment methods, alignment techniques during the index TAVR procedure with different THV platforms, the clinical impact of commissural misalignment, and challenging situations for CA.
