Prognostic value of left atrial stiffness in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aim: This study was performed to evaluate the association between left atrial (LA) stiffness and outcomes in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods and Results: This study involved 279 patients with aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVI at Kumamoto University Hospital between 2015 and 2023. During a median follow-up of 468 days (interquartile range: 258-825 days), 42 deaths occurred. Pre-TAVI echocardiography showed that the LA stiffness index (E/e' ratio/LA strain during the reservoir phase [LASr]) was significantly higher in the all-cause death group than in the survival group (2.80 ± 2.56 vs. 1.70 ± 1.23, p < 0.01). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis identified LA stiffness as significantly and independently associated with all-cause death after adjusting for body mass index, Conclusion: Estimation of LA stiffness provides significant prognostic value in patients with AS undergoing TAVI, even after adjusting for multiple predictive factors.
