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

Iatrogenic aortic injury is a rare but life-threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms are particularly uncommon and challenging to manage. We report an 88-year-old woman with prior type A dissection treated with a Bentall procedure and Carpentier-Edwards Perimount bioprosthesis, who developed severe valve stenosis. An initial transfemoral TAVI failed due to unfavorable descending thoracic aortic anatomy. One year later, angiography revealed a descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm, which was likely related to the prior procedure. Given the high surgical risk, staged management was performed: thoracic endovascular aortic repair followed by successful transapical valve-in-valve TAVI.
