Integrated Whole-Life Cycle Accuracy Valvular Heart Disease Epidemiology Cohort Study (iWAVE): protocol for a prospective cohort study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionDespite the rapid advancements in cardiovascular surgery in China, the prevalence of valvular heart disease (VHD) continues to rise, particularly among the elderly population. In the resource-constrained western regions, the lack of an integrated care management system significantly contributes to the burden of cardiovascular disease. Consequently, a comprehensive cohort data platform that encompasses the entire lifespan of patients with VHD is essential. This prospective cohort study aims to facilitate the examination of risk factor screening, disease progression, diagnostic and treatment strategies, and the long-term functional recovery trajectories of patients following valve surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The Integrated Whole-Life Cycle Accuracy Valvular Heart Disease Epidemiology Cohort Study is a prospective cohort study that plans to enrol approximately 10 000 participants, including both patients with VHD and members of the general population, by 2028. Led by the West China Hospital of Sichuan University, it will be conducted in collaboration with 15 medical consortiums and their affiliated community hospitals. This study seeks to assess the disease trajectory of VHD, as well as the risk factors and protective measures that influence its progression and prognosis. This study will collect and analyse basic demographic information, peripheral blood and tissue samples, long-term functional follow-up data, and patient-reported outcome questionnaires. Additionally, electronic health records will be used to document patients with VHD undergoing surgical interventions, along with lifetime endpoint events for the valve clinical study. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study protocol was approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University (No. 20232422). All participants will be required to provide written informed consent. The study findings will be disseminated via publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences.
