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

Background: The optimal initial treatment pathway for aortic valve stenosis remains debated. Objectives: The objective of this study was to review current outcomes of balloon aortic valvotomy (BAV) in neonates and infants. Methods: Neonates and infants with a biventricular circulation treated with BAV between 2004 and 2019 were reviewed. Results: One hundred thirty-nine infants (48% neonates) with median (Q1, Q3) age of 33(7, 84) days and weight 4.0 (3.4, 5.1) kg were followed up for 7.1 (3.3, 11.0) years. BAV reduced peak-to-peak gradient from mean (SD) 52 (16) mmHg to 18 (12) mmHg; Conclusions: BAV is a safe and effective treatment for aortic valve stenosis in neonates and infants. Outcomes are competitive with contemporary published data on aortic valve repair in relation to mortality, gradient relief, long-term AVR, and reintervention rates. In the absence of significant AI, surgery can be reserved for those with gradients resistant to valve dilation.
