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

backgroundAlthough aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is well described as preceding aortic stenosis (AS), the associations of AS with antecedent mitral annular calcification (MAC) and aortic annular increased reflectivity (AAIR) have not been characterized. In a population-based prospective study, the authors evaluated whether MAC, AAIR, and AVS are associated with the risk for incident AS.

methodsAmong participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study free of AS at the 1994-1995 visit, the presence of MAC, AAIR, AVS, and the combination of all three was evaluated in 3,041 participants. Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to assess the association between the presence of calcification and the incidence of moderate or severe AS in three nested models adjusting for factors associated with atherosclerosis and inflammation both relevant to the pathogenesis of AS.

resultsOver a median follow-up period of 11.5 years (interquartile range, 6.7-17.0 years), 110 cases of incident moderate or severe AS were ascertained. Strong positive associations with incident moderate or severe AS were found for all calcification sites after adjustment for the main model covariates: AAIR (hazard ratio [HR], 2.90; 95% CI, 1.95-4.32; P < .0005), AVS (HR, 2.20; 95% CI, 1.44-3.37; P < .0005), MAC (HR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.14-2.45; P = .008), and the combination of all three (HR, 2.50; 95% CI, 1.65-3.78; P < .0005). In a secondary analysis, the risk for AS increased with the number of sites at which calcification was present.

conclusionsIn a large cohort of community-dwelling elderly individuals, there were strong associations between each of AAIR, AVS, MAC, and the combination of the three and incident moderate or severe AS. The novel finding that AAIR had a particularly strong association with incident AS, even after adjusting for other calcification sites, suggests its value in identifying individuals at risk for AS and potential inclusion in routine assessment by transthoracic echocardiography.
