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

backgroundDuring transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), increased aortic angulation can affect the final implantation depth of self-expandable (SE) devices due to the interaction between the high stent frame and the targeted aortic landing zone (LZ). We herein sought to investigate the behaviour of the ACURATE

methodsThe mismatch between the intended and the final implantation depth (∆H) was compared between patients treated with ACURATE

resultsThe Acurate and Evolut/Portico groups showed a negligible difference (p=0.09) for ∆H averaged between non-coronary (NCC) and left coronary cusp (LCC). However, when splitting both ∆H

conclusionsAmong SE devices, the ACURATE
