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

objectiveTo describe successful endovascular rescue of an incompletely deployed Sapien 3 Ultra Resilia valve that embolized to the ascending aorta during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). KEY STEPS: Safari wire access through the valve was maintained. The catheter was upsized to a 7-F JR4, and a 0.035-inch Lunderquist wire was advanced using the buddy wire technique. A 12-mm EverCross balloon was advanced through the valve, partially inflated, and manipulated to restore coaxial alignment. The valve was then fully expanded in the descending aorta. The patient remained stable, and the procedure was completed with deployment of a second valve in the aortic annulus. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Loss of guidewire access through an embolized valve may preclude endovascular salvage and necessitate surgical retrieval. Aggressive balloon manipulation risks aortic injury. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Endovascular recovery of an embolized TAVR valve can be safely achieved using coronary techniques. Familiarity with bailout strategies is essential.
