Characteristic calcification behavior of five surgical aortic valve bioprostheses models: An in vitro study.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. 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 Aims: The durability of surgical aortic valve bioprostheses (SAV) is limited by the calcification of the leaflets, which results in degeneration. In clinical routine, there seems to be substantial variability in the degeneration of specific SAV models. Our study aims to establish an in vitro calcification model for prosthetic valves, characterizing the calcification behavior of different SAVs. Methods: Five commercially available SAV models (Epic™ Supra, Freestyle®, Intuity®, Perimount®, and Trifecta™) were perfused with double-distilled water and physiological buffer with a defined calcium concentration (CaCl Results: Treatment in the Hi-Cycle tester with calcification buffer maintained significantly higher calcium absorption of SAVs compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Data from our study revealed significant differences in leaflet calcification for the various aortic valve bioprostheses models. Further studies are necessary to investigate whether these findings can mimic the clinical data of the implanted prostheses.
