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

PURPOSE (STATING THE MAIN PURPOSES AND RESEARCH QUESTION): The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a balloon post-dilation model into patient-specific transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) simulations, addressing the current lack of numerical models capable of reproducing this procedural step.

methodsA finite element model of a True

resultsThe calibrated balloon model accurately reproduced experimental inflation behavior around the nominal working pressure, and post-dilation was simulated in all cases. Quantitative comparison with post-operative CTs demonstrated high predictive accuracy of the final stent configuration. The average percentage error in orifice area was 1.55 ± 1.26%, while eccentricity error at the left ventricular outflow tract level was 1.54 ± 1.08. Inclusion of post-dilation reduced prediction errors by 53% for orifice area and 80% for eccentricity.

conclusionThe integration of balloon post-dilation significantly improves the accuracy and clinical relevance of patient-specific TAVI simulations. Incorporating this step is essential to reliably predict final stent configuration and support the development of robust in silico tools for personalized TAVI planning and risk assessment.
