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

Introduction: Aortic stenosis is the most common primary valve disease and requires invasive treatment. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) from a transfemoral access is a routine intervention worldwide. Aim: To investigate the correlation between external iliac artery diameter (EIAD) indexed to body surface area (BSA) (EIAD-BSA) and access site complications in patients undergoing TAVI via transfemoral access (TF) (TF-TAVI). Material and methods: Patients underwent TF-TAVI in 2017-2019 at the Upper-Silesian Medical Center in Katowice. Based on the preoperative multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT), pre-specified measurements of the ilio-femoral vessels were performed. The results were indexed to BSA and body mass index (BMI). Complications after TAVI were defined by Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 (VARC-3). The primary outcome regarding the adverse events after TAVI was the composite of access site complications requiring surgical intervention or blood transfusion. Results: The registry included 193 unselected patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Vascular and access-related complications including bleeding occurred in 17.1% of patients. Major TAVI access site complications (VARC-3) were reported in 5.7% of patients, while minor complications (VARC-3) occurred in 2.6%. EIAD-BSA demonstrated a positive correlation with the access site complications primary endpoint. Patients with greater EIAD-BSA had a numerically higher number of access site adverse events requiring surgical intervention or blood transfusion: Conclusions: External iliac artery diameter indexed to BSA could be an underestimated indicator of unfavorable outcomes after TF-TAVI, predicting periprocedural access site complications.
