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

Small aortic annulus poses a major challenge in aortic valve replacement due to the increased risk of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and increased surgical risk. In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a popular alternative to the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement. We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with a small aortic annulus who underwent TAVR using a self-expanding transcatheter heart valve Acurate Neo2 after an non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) presentation. These risks, combined with advanced age, significant co-morbidities, and a severely calcified small aortic annulus, supported the choice of TAVR with a self-expanding Acurate Neo2 valve. Despite multiple risk factors for PPM, the patient had a successful outcome without major complications. Our case highlights the off-label use of the Acurate Neo2 valve in one of the smallest aortic annuli reported to date, showcasing its feasibility in Asian and resource-limited settings.
