Epidemiological and Clinical Features in Very Old Men and Women (≥80 Years) Hospitalized with Aortic Stenosis in Spain, 2016-2019: Results from the Spanish Hospital Discharge Database.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
(1) Background: The aging population poses challenges for hospital systems. Aortic stenosis is among the most frequent diseases in very old patients. The aim of this study was to describe gender and age differences in the clinical characteristics of very old patients hospitalized with aortic stenosis (AoS) in Spain from 2016 to 2019. (2): Methods: A retrospective observational study analyzing data from the national surveillance system for hospital data. Variables analyzed were age group, sex, length of stay, deaths, and comorbidity. (3) Results: The analysis included 46,967 discharges. Altogether, 7.6% of the admissions ended in death. The main reason for admission was heart failure (34.3%), and this increased with age (80−84 years: 26% versus 95−99 years: 56.6%; p < 0.001). The main treatment procedure was the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (12.7%), performed in 14.3% of patients aged 80−84 versus 0.5% in patients aged 95−99 (p < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, women were admitted with more comorbidities (odds ratio [OR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06−1.20). Mortality was similar, albeit women were admitted less for syncope (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74−0.93). Women also underwent fewer coronary catheterizations (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.77−0.87) and echocardiograms (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.94−0.98). (4) Conclusions: Aortic stenosis leads to a high number of hospital admissions. Women with AoS presented more heart failure and less cardiovascular pathology than men. Also, women are admitted with fewer episodes of syncope and have fewer ultrasounds and catheterizations.
