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

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of J-valve in patients with Aortic regurgitation (AR). Methods: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to November 2024. Primary outcome included Procedural Success, and secondary outcome included In-Hospital Mortality, 30-Day Mortality, One-Year All-Cause Mortality, Stroke Incidence and Complications. The risk of bias was assessed by subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias, including funnel plot, Egger's test, and Begg's test. Results: A total of 9 studies involving 552 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated a surgical success rate of 96% (95% CI: 0.94-0.99). The in-hospital mortality rate was 3% (95% CI: 0.01-0.04), the 30-day mortality rate was 3% (95% CI: 0.01-0.05), and the 1-year all-cause mortality rate was 6% (95% CI: 0.04-0.08). Additionally, the incidence of stroke was 2% (95% CI: 0.01-0.03), and the incidence of other complications was 22% (95% CI: 0.16-0.28). Conclusions: This meta-analysis indicates that the J-Valve prosthesis exhibits favorable short-term efficacy in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR); however, a significant incidence of complications persists. A thorough risk assessment is crucial when determining the appropriate treatment strategy. Furthermore, postoperative follow-up duration should be extended to monitor patient outcomes effectively.
