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

objectivesWe describe the endovascular management of multiple vessel-related complications in a case of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) through surgical right transaxillary access. KEY STEPS: We present the case of a TAVR performed through the right transaxillary approach and detail the treatment of an early subclavian dissection and a subacute subclavian pseudoaneurysm, successfully managed through endovascular interventions. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Significant subclavian disease can raise the questions whether to prepare the vessel before the procedure and whether to proceed sheathless with the valve delivery system or use a larger fixed introducer. Additionally, the decision to treat or not treat early vessel complications may lead to different outcomes. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: The right transaxillary approach for TAVR is a feasible alternative access, although vascular injuries can occur. A subclavian pseudoaneurysm can be addressed with percutaneous intervention. In this scenario, loss of the ipsilateral vertebral artery can be tolerated without serious consequences.
