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

backgroundProsthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) remains common following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. PPM is of particular concern in small aortic annuli (SAA).

aimsTo compare the incidence, predictors, and long-term impact of PPM in SAA TAVR.

methodsSingle-center retrospective registry analysis of native, severe aortic stenosis patients with computed tomography-derived annulus area ≤ 430 mm², undergoing TAVR via transfemoral access. Significant PPM was defined as moderate and above and classified by the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-3. Additional analyses were conducted for predicted PPM and gender-based criteria. Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied to identify predictors of significant PPM and long-term mortality.

resultsThe cohort included 631 consecutive patients with SAA undergoing TAVR between 2015 and 2024. Significant PPM occurred in 23.3%. Multivariable analyses identified BEV implantation (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.3-4.9, p < 0.001) and larger body surface area (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.7-18.8, p < 0.001) as independent predictors of PPM. Large annulus perimeter had a protective association (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.79-0.91, p < 0.001). Five-year mortality was significantly higher among patients with significant PPM (32.0% vs. 25.4%; log-rank p = 0.008). Age (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.004-1.07, p = 0.03), moderate and above paravalvular leak (HR 3.25, 95% CI 1.3-8.0, p = 0.01), and significant PPM (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.2-3.1, p = 0.004) were independently associated with 5-year mortality.

conclusionsSignificant PPM remains highly prevalent following SAA TAVR. BEV implantation and larger BSA were associated with significant PPM, and a larger implanted valve had a protective association. Significant PPM is independently associated with long-term mortality.
