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

Background: Previous reports of longer-term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) focus on higher risk patients and suggest potential temporal changes. Aims: To evaluate the longer-term and temporal performances of TAVI compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Methods: Randomized controlled trials reporting outcomes with at least 1-year follow-up. The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause death or disabling stroke. Results: We included 8 trials with 8,749 patients. TAVI was associated with a higher risk of longer-term (5-year) primary outcome compared to SAVR among higher-risk [odds ratio (OR), 1.25; 95% CI, 1.07-1.47] but not lower-risk participants [1.0 (0.77-1.29)]. However, a significant temporal interaction was detected in both risk profiles. TAVI with balloon-expandable valves was associated with a higher risk of longer-term primary outcome compared to SAVR [1.38 (1.2-1.6)], whereas no statistical difference was found with self-expanding valves [1.03 (0.89-1.19)]. There was a significant interaction between the two valve systems, and a temporal interaction was detected in both systems. Overall landmark analysis revealed a lower risk in TAVI within the initial 30 days [0.76 (0.6, 0.96)], comparable between 30 days to 2 years [1.04 (0.85, 1.28)], and higher beyond 2 years [1.36 (1.15-1.61)]. Analysis for all-cause death generated largely similar results. Conclusions: TAVI was associated with a higher longer-term risk of primary outcome compared to SAVR in higher-risk patients and with balloon-expandable valves. However, a characteristic temporal interaction was documented in all subgroups. Future studies are warranted to test these findings.
