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
backgroundTrans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with large annuli poses procedural difficulties and possible complications.
aimsWe sought to compare the peri-procedural and long-term outcomes of patients with large annuli undergoing TAVR with self-expanding (SEV) versus balloon-expandable (BEV) valves.
methodsWe conducted propensity score matching (PSM) of consecutive male patients with large aortic annuli (aortic valve area ≥ 540 mm
resultsOverall, 552 patients were included in the current analysis (368 BEV; 184 SEV; age 80.2 ± 8.2 y/o). Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. The rate of peri-procedural cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (3.9% vs. 0.6%; p = 0.013), hemodynamic instability (5.8% vs. 1.4%; p = 0.022), major or life-threatening bleeding (7.7% vs. 2.8%; p = 0.015) and need for a second valve (3.8% vs. 0.3%) was higher in the SEV versus BEV group. In univariate analysis the 3-year mortality rate was higher in the SEV versus BEV group (29.4% vs. 20.4%; log rank p = 0.02). However, multivariate analysis adjusted for known confounders related to mortality did not show a significant difference between groups.
conclusionsMale patients with large aortic annuli undergoing TAVR with either SEV or BEV have similar rates of in-hospital and long-term mortality, albeit a notably higher rate of peri-procedural complications related to SEVs.
