Cardio-Splenic Relationship in Patients Receiving Trans-Catheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe spleen seems to be a significant buffer of the effective circulating blood volume by changing its size dramatically according to hemodynamics. The cardio-splenic relationship has been recently proposed in the literature regarding heart failure cohorts, and the splenic size has been proposed as a prognostic factor in these cohorts. However, the clinical implication of the splenic size in patients receiving trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains unknown.
methodsPatients who underwent TAVR at our institute between 2015 and 2022 were eligible. Of these, the patients whose abdominal computed tomography imaging was obtained before TAVR were included. The volume of the spleen was measured in all the participants. The prognostic impact of the indexed splenic volume (SVI) on the 2-year cardiac death or heart failure readmissions was evaluated.
resultsA total of 343 patients (86 years, 98 males) were included. The median value of the peak velocity at the aortic valve was 4.4 (4.0, 4.8) m/s and the median SVI was 65.5 (48.9, 86.9) mL/m
conclusionA high baseline SVI, which was associated with systemic congestion, was associated with a higher incidence of cardiac death or heart failure readmission after TAVR. Further studies are warranted to clarify the detailed cardio-splenic relationship and implication of measuring the SVI in this cohort.
