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: Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction is a serious complication of transcatheter mitral valve replacement and mitral valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures. Computed tomography (CT)-based virtual valve implantation predicts the neo-LVOT area, but it assumes idealized seating and may not fully reflect procedural interaction during double-valve intervention. Case summary: A 74-year-old woman with degenerated surgical mitral and aortic bioprostheses presented with NYHA class IV heart failure. Full-cycle ECG-gated 4D-CT identified the minimum predicted neo-LVOT at 43% of the R-R interval (300.9 mm Discussion: This case demonstrates that CT-based planning correctly identified procedural feasibility, while post-procedural CT revealed measurable geometric variability. The finding remained well above high-risk thresholds and should be interpreted as a hypothesis-generating geometric observation rather than clinically significant obstruction.
