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

Background: With increased demand for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), comprehensive strategies are required to improve procedural efficiency and increase case loads at Canadian TAVI programs. Methods: Time-efficiency measures were implemented at the preprocedure, anesthesia, procedural, and postprocedural stages at our centre between 2019 to 2024, using a 1-day-per-week strategy in a hybrid operating room. We analyzed trends in case volumes and procedural times during the study period. Patients were stratified based on whether their procedure was performed on days with a high (HCV) vs a low case volume (LCV), and differences in early clinical outcomes were analyzed. Effects of specific efficiency measures on procedural times were also analyzed. Results: A total of 1019 patients were analyzed. We noted significant increases in TAVI volumes (+0.51 cases per year, Conclusions: Our comprehensive, innovative time-efficiency strategies have improved TAVI efficiency significantly while preserving good outcomes and not requiring significant additional resources.
