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

backgroundSevere pulmonary regurgitation (PR) in patients with postoperative congenital heart disease is often accompanied by extensive variability of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy, which limited the wide application of existing transcatheter pulmonary valves device.

objectivesThis study sought to evaluate 1-year safety and efficacy of the PT-Valve in the treatment of PR patients presenting with native RVOT from a multicenter, single-arm clinical trial.

methodsWe enrolled 130 patients of moderate or greater PR. One-year clinical outcomes are reported.

resultsWithin the cohort (mean age 30 ± 16 years; 52% men), 124 (95%) were diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot. The procedure success rate was 98.5%. Early explants occurred to 2 device malpositions and 1 pulmonary branch obstruction. At 1 year, there were no procedure- or device-related mortality. Device-related adverse events included 2 arrhythmias, 1 pulmonary thromboembolism, 2 endocarditis, and 1 vascular access complication. Echocardiography examinations showed that 125 (99%) patients had none/trace and mild PR, and no greater than mild paravalvular leak at 1-year visit. The mean peak pulmonary gradient was 20.0 ± 17.4 mm Hg and 16.0 ± 7.8 mm Hg at baseline and 1 year after implantation, respectively. The right ventricular end-diastolic volume index was reduced from 176.3 ± 28.4 mL/m

conclusionsThe PT-Valve demonstrated a high success rate of implantation and favorable safety and efficacy in the treatment of PR through 1 year. This device is anatomically suitable for more than 90% of PR patients with native RVOT.
