Understanding prosthesis patient mismatch in aortic valve replacement: from pitfalls to clinical impact.
Review in Cardiovascular intervention and therapeutics, 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
Almost half a century ago, cardiac surgeons introduced the concept of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM), which was defined by indexing the effective orifice area (EOA) to body surface area. Although PPM has demonstrated strong prognostic value following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), its significance in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains uncertain. In this review, we revisit the concept of PPM and explore the methodological and clinical challenges in its application. Special focus is given to the limitations in interpreting EOA and indexed EOA (EOAi), including flow dependency and imaging variability. We also review the literature evaluating the association between PPM and clinical outcomes after SAVR and TAVR. Finally, we discuss a potential role of alternative metric such as the fitting index.
