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

Aortic regurgitation (AR) develops in up to 25%-30% of patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Treatment remains challenging since surgery confers significant peri-operative risk and the lack of valvular calcification renders transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI) with non-dedicated devices technically challenging. We present a case series wherein a TF J-Valve system, a dedicated transcatheter heart valve for pure AR, emerges as an alternative treatment for AR in patients with an LVAD. We demonstrate successful deployment even in the presence of challenging anatomy including aortic root thrombus. Technical considerations when performing TF-TAVI in LVAD patients are discussed.
