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

backgroundTranscatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) carries a notable risk of conduction system injury. While most atrioventricular (AV) blocks occur early, predictors of late-onset AV block and its latest timing remain uncertain. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old man who developed complete AV block 17 months after TAVR (Evolut-R 29 mm). Serial electrocardiograms showed progressive warning signs: left anterior fascicular block at one month, complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) with first-degree AV block at one year, and, ultimately, complete AV block. Electrophysiological study demonstrated AH and HV intervals of 75 ms and 78 ms, respectively. Prolonged ambulatory monitoring revealed intermittent high-grade AV block. The patient underwent left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), which provided physiologic ventricular activation and corrected the conduction abnormalities; symptoms resolved and pacing parameters remained stable on follow-up.

conclusionComplete AV block can present extremely late after TAVR. Even subtle ECG abnormalities should be regarded as warning signs and prompt prolonged rhythm surveillance. LBBP is a physiologic pacing strategy that can both ensure reliable pacing and restore ventricular conduction.
