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 evidence of the long-term advantages of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) over surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for aortic stenosis (AS) remains scarce. Methods: Patients with EuroSCORE II < 4 % who underwent TAVR or SAVR for AS from the prospective observational OBSERVANT study were included in this analysis. Ten-year survival was the primary outcome of this analysis. Secondary outcome was repeat procedure on the aortic valve prosthesis. Results: Propensity score matching resulted in 355 matched pairs of patients who underwent TAVR or SAVR. The mean age of SAVR patients was 80.0 ± 5.1 years and that of TAVR patients 80.1 ± 6.4 years (p = 0.81) and the mean EuroSCORE II was 2.5 ± 0.8 % and 2.6 ± 0.8 % (p = 0.60), respectively. Thirty-day mortality was 2.8 % after SAVR and 2.5 % after TAVR (p = 0.82). At 10-year, survival was 37.0 % (95 %CI 32.2-42.5 %) after SAVR and 18.2 % (95 %CI 14.5-22.8 %) after TAVR (Log-rank test, p < 0.001; HR 1.70, 95 %CI 1.42-2.03). Difference in terms of survival between the propensity matched cohorts became significant 3 years after the procedures. Ten-year cumulative incidences of repeat aortic valve procedure were 2.6 % (95 %CI 1.4-5.0 %) after SAVR and 1.1 % (95 %CI 0.4-3.0 %) after TAVR (p = 0.153; SHR 0.43, 95 %CI 0.13-1.41). Conclusions: The results of this prospective observational, non-randomized study showed that 10-year survival of low-risk patients who underwent TAVR with early generation prosthesis devices was lower than SAVR.
