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

backgroundTranscatheter aortic valve replacement using self-expandable valves requires permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) more often compared with balloon-expandable systems. The Navitor prosthesis is a novel, tubular-shaped self-expandable valve with increasing use.

methodsThirty-day PPI rates were compared between 148 patients treated with the Navitor system and 165 patients treated with the Evolut system. Patients with preexisting PPI, high-risk ECG (right bundle-branch block), and Navitor 35-mm/Evolut 34-mm prostheses were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for baseline differences.

resultsPatients treated with Navitor were older (83.0 [IQR, 78-86] versus 81.0 [IQR, 76-84] years;

conclusionsDepending on prosthesis size, transcatheter aortic valve replacement with the Navitor system may have PPI rates comparable to other self-expandable valves. High implantation of the Navitor may be attempted to reduce PPI rates.
