Transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis in France: Trends from 2010 to 2022 and impact of European guidelines and clinical trial results.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThe PARTNER trials played a key role in the expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), shaping international practice guidelines. We assessed the evolution of AS management in France between 2010 and 2022, and the impact of PARTNER trials and European guideline updates on TAVR use. Characteristics of patients, facilities and TAVR valves, and post-procedure events were also described. METHODS AND
findingsWe conducted a nationwide cohort study using the French Health Data System (SNDS), including patients aged 18 years or older hospitalized for AS and receiving a first TAVR or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) from 2010 to 2022. ARIMA models were used to study the impact of PARTNER trials and European guideline updates on TAVR use. Among 255,453 procedures, 109,739 were TAVR (N2010: 1,389; N2022: 16,770). No significant change in the proportion of TAVR was associated with PARTNER trials or European guideline updates (p ≥ 0.125). Median age and EuroSCORE II proxy were 83.0 years and 2.2 in TAVR group and 72.0 years and 1.4 in SAVR group. Approximately 60% of the TAVR and SAVR procedures were performed in public facilities. Latest valve generations replaced progressively earlier ones, with 62.5% being balloon-expandable. Mortality decreased over time in both groups, while length of stay and intensive care unit admissions decreased only in TAVR group.
conclusionsThis 13-year nationwide overview highlights the growing uptake of TAVR in France, likely driven by clinical practice and procedural innovation rather than guidelines. Further analyses will compare efficacy and safety between TAVR and SAVR.
