Impact of Measured and Predicted Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch on Quality of Life Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

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: While patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has not been associated with increased mortality, its impact on quality of life (QoL) remains unclear. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 3013 patients undergoing TAVI (2012-2022) within a large health care system. Patients were stratified by effective orifice area indexed to body surface area (EOAi) into no (EOAi >0.85 cm Results: The median age was 80.0 (73.0; 86.0) years, and 55.6% were female with a median Society of Thoracic Surgery risk score of 4.70% (2.66; 7.64). Overall, TAVI led to significant improvements in New York Heart Association and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores at 30 days and 1 year. Severe predicted and severe measured PPm was not associated with inferior QoL outcomes improvement (all Conclusion: In this large cohort, TAVI yielded substantial and durable QoL gains, regardless of PPM severity or valve type. These findings suggest that moderate or severe PPM does not diminish functional recovery and should not be a primary determinant in valve selection or procedural strategy at 1 year.
