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

backgroundAcute leaflet dysfunction after transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) implantation is a rare but clinically important complication that remains poorly characterized. CASE SUMMARY: We report 2 cases of acute stuck leaflet causing significant pulmonary regurgitation immediately postimplantation, the first such cases confirmed with intracardiac echocardiography in the pulmonary position. Case 1 involved a 23-mm Sapien 3 Ultra Resilia valve in a 39-year-old woman with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, requiring emergent valve-in-valve implantation with a 22-mm Melody TPV. Case 2 involved a 25-mm Harmony TPV in a 54-year-old woman, who was managed conservatively and is pending repeat catheterization. Standard rescue maneuvers including balloon dilation and catheter manipulation proved ineffective in both cases. DISCUSSION: This report highlights the importance of maintaining high clinical suspicion for acute leaflet dysfunction, the utility of intracardiac echocardiography for early diagnosis, and the need for valve-in-valve preparedness during TPV procedures.
