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

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) TAVI outcomes for patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and severe aortic stenosis are uncertain due to their exclusion from major clinical trials. We analyzed TAVI patients in the United States using data from the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2019) identified using ICD-10 codes. We established matched cohorts of BAV and trileaflet aortic valve (TAV) patients using propensity-score matching (PSM). Primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission rates. Out of 233,683 TAVI patients identified, 3169 (1.4%) had BAV. BAV patients were younger with fewer comorbidities. After PSM, 2,840 pairs were analyzed. Compared to TAV patients, TAVI in BAV patients showed comparable in-hospital mortality (1.2% vs. 2.0%; OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.36-1.04; p = 0.07) and 30-day readmission rates (10.0% vs. 12.3%; OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.60-1.03; p = 0.08), with lower 30-day mortality rates (0.88% vs. 1.96%; OR 0.44; 95% CI 0.23-0.84; p = 0.01). Post-TAVI in-hospital complications rates, including stroke, acute kidney injury, pacemaker need, and others, were similar between BAV and TAV patients. TAVI in BAV shows acceptable safety compared to TAV, but further randomized trials are needed to establish long-term outcomes and durability.
