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

Introduction: Clinical evidence highlighting the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the 2019 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for TAVR in low-risk (younger) patients has created a demand for durable and long-lasting bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) leaflet materials. Over the life of an implanted BHV mechanical stress, immunogenicity, calcification, and hemodynamic dysfunction lead to failure via structural valve deterioration (SVD). Consequently, the durability of the bioprosthetic materials selected for valve manufacture is of utmost importance. Technology: The ADAPT™ tissue engineering process, an anti-calcification preparation that transforms xenograft tissue (bovine pericardium) into a durable valve bioscaffold, shows significant clinical benefits in mitigating the interrelated mechanisms leading to SVD. The novel acellular, biostable and non-calcifying biomaterial has recently been molded into a single-piece 3D biomimetic valve (DurAVR™) with excellent early clinical results and the potential to meet the growing demand of durable BHVs for the treatment of aortic stenosis. Discussion: The unique design of the DurAVR biomimetic valve in combination with the superior biostability of ADAPT tissue could advance the BHV space by providing superior performance and durability to aortic stenosis patients in need of TAVR.
