Value of Post-/Pre-Procedural Aortic Regurgitation Ratio vs. Pre-Procedural Aortic Valve Calcium Score to Predict Moderate to Severe Paravalvular Leak Requiring Post-Dilation after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
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 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimTools that assist interventionists in selecting patients for post-dilation (PD) are needed. We aimed to assess whether pre-interventional aortic valve calcium (AVC) or the peri-interventional aortic regurgitation (ARI) ratio is a better predictor for a more than mild paravalvular leak (PVL) requiring PD after TAVI.
methodsPatients undergoing TAVI with available data on AVC derived from MSCTs and the ARI ratio derived from peri-interventional hemodynamic curves were studied. The main outcome was moderate-to-severe PVL requiring PD.
resultsIn 237 patients, more than mild PVL after valve deployment was present in 25.7%. PD was performed in 65 patients. The median (IQR) total AVC was 390.5 (211.5-665.4) mm
conclusionsThe ARI ratio provides interventionists with a powerful predictive tool for PVL requiring PD after TAVI that is beyond the predictive value of pre-procedural valve calcification derived from MSCT.
