Incidence and predictors of activities of daily living decline after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo clarify the incidence of activities of daily living (ADL) decline following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to investigate its contributing factors, including anesthesia methods and sedative drugs.
methodsThis retrospective study included 128 patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI between December 2018 and June 2023. ADL was assessed using the Katz Index preoperatively and one week postoperatively. Patients with decreased scores were assigned to the ADL-decline group. Clinical, physical, cognitive, and perioperative data were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of ADL decline.
resultsADL decline occurred in 25 patients (20%), who were significantly older (87.9 vs. 85.1 years, p = 0.004), had lower preoperative Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores (7.2 vs. 9.7, p = 0.001), and lower preoperative grip strength (14.6 vs. 17.4, p = 0.04). All three patients of with postoperative cerebral infarction experienced ADL decline. No significant differences in anesthesia methods (general anesthesia vs. monitored anesthesia care) or sedative drugs (propofol vs. remimazolam) were noted. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.15; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.31; p = 0.03) and lower preoperative SPPB score (adjusted OR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.69-0.98; p = 0.03) were independent predictors of ADL decline.
conclusionOlder age and reduced preoperative physical function were associated with ADL decline after TAVI. In contrast, anesthesia methods and sedative drug choices did not influence postoperative ADL. These findings may help guide patient selection and inform perioperative rehabilitation strategies to preserve independence after TAVI.
