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
backgroundAccurate bioprosthesis implantation depth during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is crucial for optimal outcomes. Self-expanding valves (SEVs) have evolved delivery catheter designs, from a double spine shaft in Evolut PRO+ (PRO + ) to single spine in Evolut FX (FX) and non-spine in Navitor, to improve access deliverability.
aimsTo investigate the influence of different spine structures on valve implantation.
methodsRetrospectively, we investigated 95 severe aortic stenosis patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR using SEVs (PRO + : 41, FX: 21, and Navitor: 33 patients) from January 2021 to July 2023. The implantation depth difference (IDD) between Left Coronary Cusp (LCC) and Non-Coronary Cusp (NCC) was measured angiographically at the point of no recapture, defined as subtracting NCC implantation depth from LCC. Positive IDD indicates deeper LCC than NCC, also shown as "vertical axis." Whereas negative IDD indicates shallower LCC than NCC, demonstrated as "horizontal axis."
resultsIDD at the point of no recapture showed significant difference among three groups (PRO + : 2.42 [0.81-3.42], FX: 1.01 [0.29-1.77], Navitor: -2.16[-2.74- (-1.14)] mm, p < 0.001, PRO + > FX/Navitor, FX > Navitor). PRO+ had a positive IDD, indicating deeper LCC implantation. Navitor had a negative IDD, demonstrating shallower implantation on LCC, and FX showed co-axial implantation.
conclusionPRO+ with double spines showed vertical axis, Navitor with non-spine showed horizontal axis, whereas FX demonstrated co-axiality at the point of no recapture. This knowledge may help refine the manipulation of procedural implantation based on the shaft rigidity in each device to gain co-axiality.
