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 explantation is the fastest-growing cardiac operation in the United States, yet optimal techniques are not well-defined. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we present a case of explantation of a self-expanding CoreValve Evolut PRO valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota).

conclusionsThis report demonstrates a reproducible technique that leverages the temperature-dependent properties of nitinol to facilitate safe surgical explantation of self-expanding transcatheter aortic valves.
