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

Aims: Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) has proven to be an effective treatment option for high-risk patients with degenerated surgical bioprosthetic aortic valves. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) analysis, the current gold standard for procedural planning, has certain limitations. Virtual reality (VR) could optimize pre-procedural planning by delivering three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific information. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of visualizing the bioprosthesis and adjacent structures with VR, as well as the accuracy and reproducibility of VR measurements and their advantages and limitations in planning ViV-TAVI. Methods and results: The visualizations and measurements were performed using 3mensio software and VR software by analysts blinded to the results of the other software based on MSCT data from 20 patients who underwent ViV-TAVI interventions. Moreover, eight physicians graded numerous aspects of pre-procedural ViV-TAVI planning with and without VR visualizations. The analysis showed no significant differences between the measurements and strong correlations with correlation coefficients between 0.874 and 0.994, Conclusion: Virtual reality can be a valuable addition to the pre-procedural planning of ViV-TAVI interventions, thanks to detailed 3D visualization and precise measurements. Further studies are needed to assess the impact on patient outcomes.
