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

backgroundTo compare the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replace-ment (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with different flow-gradient and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) profiles.

methodsPatients with severe AS who underwent TAVR with newer generation valves (Sapien3/3 Ultra, Evolut Pro/Pro+/FX) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 5 groups: normal-flow high-gradient (NF-HG) AS (stroke volume index ≥ 35 mL/m2 and mean pressure gradient ≥ 40 mm Hg), low-flow high-gradient (LF-HG) with preserved EF (pEF, ≥ 50%), LF-HG with reduced EF (rEF), low-flow low-gradient (LF-LG) with pEF, and LF-LG with rEF.

resultsA total of 846 patients were included in this study (NF-HG, n = 458; LF-HG with pEF, n = 142; LF-HG with rEF, n = 50; LF-LG with pEF, n = 113; LF-LG with rEF, n = 83). For the entire cohort, the median age was 82 years, and the periprocedural mortality rate was 2.1% with the highest rate in the LF-LG with rEF AS (7.2%). The 1-year and 5-year mortality rates were 13% and 51%, respectively. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed higher all-cause mortality in the LF-HG with pEF (hazard ratio 1.42 [95% CI: 1.02-1.98]), LF-LG with pEF (1.84 [1.32-2.55]), and LF-LG with rEF (1.78 [1.22-2.61]) groups compared with the NF-HG group. Cardiovascular death rates were significantly higher in the LF-LG groups, but not in the LF-HG groups.

conclusionIn addition to both LF-LG with pEF and rEF AS, LF-HG with pEF AS had a higher all-cause mortality rate after TAVR compared to NF-HG AS.
