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

The accessibility of advanced imaging techniques has led to the exponential growth of transcatheter valve and structural interventions. The prevalence of valve disease in women is increasing in both developed and developing countries. Despite this increase in disease burden in women, optimal imaging indices for referral are understudied and underused in both research and clinical settings, resulting in later referral for intervention, suboptimal risk prediction and arbitrary procedural and device selection. Available published clinical trials are deficient in adequate sex-specific enrolment, resulting in a paucity of evidence to guide refined valve-related management in female patients. Thus, data referenced in current guidelines scarcely outline sex-specific recommendations with reference to optimal selection criteria, timing for referral and optimal procedural strategy and follow-up for this group of patients. This review summarises the available literature, focusing on disparities in imaging in women with valvular heart disease.
