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

backgroundTrials comparing non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) versus antiplatelet-based strategies have shown a reduction of subclinical leaflet thrombosis at the cost of increased mortality and major-bleedings. NOACs were often combined with antiplatelet therapy.

aimsThe Rotterdam Edoxaban (REDOX) study aimed to evaluate the impact of edoxaban monotherapy on the incidence of hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and reduced leaflet motion (RLM) and to evaluate safety in terms of mortality, thromboembolic events and major bleeding.

methodsThe REDOX study is a single-arm, open-label trial including patients after successful transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with no formal indication for oral anticoagulation or dual antiplatelet therapy. Patients received edoxaban monotherapy for 3 months, followed by multislice computed tomography (MSCT). The primary endpoint was the occurrence of HALT. Clinical follow-up continued up to 1 year after TAVI.

resultsWe included 58 patients, of which 50 reached study completion including MSCT scanning and eight withdrew consent before end of study. At 3-months follow-up, HALT of any grade was detected in 12.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.0%-23.1%) of patients. HALT grade ≥ 3 occurred in 4.0% (95% CI: 0.8%-12.2%) of patients. At 1 year follow-up, all patients were alive and free of disabling strokes. Three patients had a non-disabling stroke and one patient had a major bleeding.

conclusionsIn the REDOX study, edoxaban monotherapy after TAVI was associated with a 12.0% incidence of any HALT and a 4.0% incidence of HALT grade ≥ 3. HALT was not associated with clinical events.
