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 role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) continues to expand, yet uncertainty remains regarding the long-term outcomes in low-risk populations compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). This systematic review examined long-term mortality, stroke, postoperative complications, and valve durability across randomized and observational studies. Randomized data showed similar long-term survival and stroke rates between TAVR and SAVR, while observational studies suggested worse late outcomes following TAVR. TAVR was consistently associated with fewer postoperative complications, whereas durability and re-intervention findings varied across studies. Overall, these results suggest that while TAVR offers meaningful advantages, treatment decisions should be individualized to balance a patient's comorbidities with long-term procedural outcomes.
