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
objectivesTranscatheter aortic valve-in-valve is frequently performed in degenerated surgical valves. Notably, in small-sized surgical valves, bioprosthetic valve fracturing can improve the functional results of the transcatheter heart valve (THV). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of an expandable surgical valve on the functional improvement of 2 THV models.
methodsAn Inspiris Resilia (21 mm) and 2 different THV models-the self-expanding Evolut-PRO and the balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 (each 23 and 26 mm)-were used for hydrodynamic testing at 4 different circulatory conditions in a pulse duplicator. Mean pressure gradient (MPG), effective orifice area (EOA), geometric orifice area (GOA), minimal internal diameter (MID), and pin-wheeling index (PWI) of the THVs were analysed before and after expansion of the Inspiris Resilia with a non-compliant balloon (6 atm). Leaflet kinematics were evaluated by high-speed video recording. The internal and external diameters of Inspiris Resilia were measured with a calliper gauge. Fluoroscopic images were recorded.
resultsThe Inspiris Resilia showed 2 mm enlarged internal and external stent diameters after expansion, which are fluoroscopically visible. EOA and MPG of the THVs as valve-in-valve did not change significantly after the expansion of the Inspiris Resilia. However, the Inspiris Resilia expansion improved leaflet kinematics, resulting in an increased GOA and a decreased PWI of the THVs as valve-in-valve.
conclusionsThe expansion of the Inspiris Resilia enlarged the stent diameter, resulting in improved leaflet kinematics of the THVs as valve-in-valve. These findings may be helpful for valve-in-valve interventions, especially in small-sized surgical valves.
