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

Introduction: Delays to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) carry significant morbidity and mortality, with patients referred from non-tertiary centres experiencing significantly longer waiting times. Methods: A local TAVI clinic was established in January 2024. Data were collected from 2021 to 2024. The primary outcome was time from referral to TAVI. Comparisons were made between our centre, the tertiary centre, another referring centre with a dedicated TAVI pathway, and centres without dedicated clinics. Secondary outcomes included aortic stenosis-related hospitalisation. Results: Median time to TAVI significantly decreased following clinic establishment: 218 days pre-clinic vs 77 days post-clinic, p < 0.0001. Time to TAVI was comparable to tertiary and other dedicated TAVI-pathway centres and shorter than referral centres without dedicated clinics. Aortic tenosis-related hospitalisations were significantly lower: nine (12.5%) pre-clinic vs five (4.0%) post-clinic, p = 0.025. Conclusion: The introduction of a local TAVI clinic in our centre was associated with reduced time to TAVI and fewer aortic stenosis-related hospitalisations.
