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

backgroundCardiohepatic syndrome (CHS) has been identified as an important but underrecognized survival predictor in multiple cardiovascular disease entities. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic value of CHS in patients undergoing TAVR for severe aortic stenosis (AS).

methodsThe study included patients with available laboratory parameters of hepatic function who underwent TAVR from July 2013 until December 2019 at our center. CHS was defined as an elevation of at least two of three laboratory cholestasis parameters above the upper limit of normal (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma glutamyl transferase). Study endpoints were three-year survival, technical and device failure (VARC 3), as well as New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class at follow-up.

resultsAmong a total of 953 analyzed patients (47.6% females, median age 80.0 [76.0-85.0] years) CHS was present in 212 patients (22.4%). In patients with vs. without CHS, rates of technical (6.1% vs. 8.4%, p = 0.29) and device failure (18.9% vs. 17.3%, p = 0.59) were comparable. NYHA functional class at baseline and follow-up was more severe in patients with CHS. Nevertheless, heart failure symptoms improved from baseline to follow-up irrespective of hepatic function. Three-year survival rates were significantly lower in patients with CHS (49.4 vs. 65.4%, p < 0.001). The predictive value of CHS persisted after adjustment in a multivariable analysis (hazard ratio 1.58, p < 0.01).

conclusionIn patients undergoing TAVR, CHS is prevalent in 22% of patients and is associated with increased postinterventional mortality. Thus, CHS should be included in the decision-making process within the TAVR heart team. Cardiohepatic syndrome (CHS) as defined by an elevation of at least two of three laboratory cholestasis parameters above the upper limit of normal was prevalent in 22% of patients undergoing TAVR for severe AS. The presence of CHS was associated with more severe heart failure symptoms and worse three-year survival.
