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

backgroundAortic valve stenosis remains the most prevalent valvular pathology in Western countries. Rapid deployment bioprosthesis (RD) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional valves for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), particularly in elderly and high-risk patients. This study reports the short- and long-term outcomes of RD in patients with isolated aortic stenosis.

methodsA retrospective single-center analysis was conducted on 382 patients who underwent RD-AVR between 2014 and 2020. Data were collected from clinical files and national electronic databases. Primary outcomes included cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cross-clamping (XC) times, postoperative complications, and long-term survival.

resultsThe mean age was 75.6 ± 5.9 years, with 29.8% of patients over 80 years old and a mean EuroSCORE II of 2.3 ± 1.5%. CPB and XC times were 36.7 ± 10.8 and 27.4 ± 8.1 min, respectively. Postoperative complications included acute kidney injury (AKI, 53.4%), de novo atrial fibrillation (31.9%), and high-grade/complete atrioventricular block with permanent pacemaker implantation (9.8%). In-hospital and 30-day mortality was 1.02% and 2.3%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 77%. At 6 months postoperatively, the mean transvalvular gradient was 11.1 ± 4.7 mmHg. At a median follow-up of 6.7 years, no cases of structural valve deterioration and only one case of endocarditis were reported.

conclusionIn this single-center study, RD in isolated AVR demonstrated favorable short- and long-term outcomes, including no structural valve deterioration at mid-term follow-up. These devices offer a safe and effective alternative to conventional SAVR, particularly in high-risk populations.
