The TAVI Dilemma: Balloon-Expandable or Self-Expanding Transcatheter Heart Valve-Interpreting Current Evidence for Personalized Valve Selection.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) has transformed the treatment of aortic valve stenosis, offering a less invasive alternative to surgical valve replacement, particularly in elderly and high-risk populations. As TAVI expands into younger, lower-risk patients, the choice of transcatheter heart valve has become increasingly important to optimize both immediate and long-term outcomes. Currently, Self-Expandable Valves (SEVs) and Balloon-Expandable Valves (BEVs) are the two most widely used platforms, each characterized by distinct design features, implantation techniques, and hemodynamic profiles. While no definitive evidence supports the overall superiority of one valve type over the other, accumulating clinical data highlight specific advantages and limitations depending on anatomical and procedural contexts. This review aims to present and critically discuss the current evidence, clinical considerations, and evolving concerns surrounding the use of SEVs versus BEVs, with a particular focus on challenging scenarios such as valve-in-valve procedures and long-term valve strategy planning.
