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

backgroundWe report a proactive coronary protection strategy during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided decision making and chimney stenting in patients with high-risk anatomy. CASE SUMMARY: Two patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and unfavorable coronary anatomy on preprocedural computed tomography underwent TAVR with planned coronary protection. Despite preserved angiographic flow after valve deployment, IVUS identified critical leaflet-to-coronary proximity in one case, whereas significant ostial compromise was detected by angiography in the other. Chimney stenting was performed, ensuring maintained coronary patency. Both patients had favorable clinical outcomes without periprocedural complications and good follow-up results. DISCUSSION: These cases highlight some limitations of angiography and the complementary value of IVUS in selected situations and support a proactive decision-making process for an imaging-guided approach to coronary protection during TAVR. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: A proactive, imaging-guided decision-making approach to coronary protection is recommended in cases of high-risk TAVR.
