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

Aims: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established therapy improving outcome in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) has demonstrated prognostic value, however, its prognostic utility in severe AS remains unknown. Methods and results: Between January 2017 and September 2023 138 consecutive patients with severe AS (80 years (70-83), 62% male) referred for TAVR were prospectively recruited for pre-procedural CMR imaging. LACI was defined as the ratio of the left atrial (LA) end-diastolic volume index (LA EDVi) and left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume index (LV EDVi). The primary endpoint was cardiovascular (CV)-mortality. The cohort was dichotomized at a median of 44.1% (high vs. low LACI). Patients with increased LACI (≥44.1%) had higher symptom burden (NYHA III/IV prevalence (68.1% vs. 44.9%; Conclusion: In patients with severe aortic stenosis, CMR-derived LACI was associated with cardiovascular mortality and may serve as a structural marker of advanced atrioventricular remodelling. Given its simplicity and routine availability in standard CMR workflows, LACI may serve as a clinically practical risk marker for baseline stratification.
