Influence of Failure to Rescue on Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) varies among centers. "Failure to rescue" (FTR) patients from post-TAVR complications may represent an unexplored opportunity for TAVR process improvement. Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy registry was queried for patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR between 2011 and 2016. Hospital FTR rate was derived from the ratio of observed-to-expected procedural mortality. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the association between FTR and hospital mortality. Adjusted FTR rates were compared across tertiles of hospital mortality. Results: The analysis included 61,804 patients (429 sites). Post-TAVR mortality at low-, middle-, and high-mortality hospitals was 1.8%, 3.3%, and 5.6% ( Conclusions: National TAVR mortality rates vary significantly across centers, despite comparable rates of postoperative complications. Patients at medium- and high-mortality centers face a disproportionately higher risk of death due to FTR. These findings highlight the need for a closer evaluation of post-TAVR care processes to address this disparity.
