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

objectivesThoracic/abdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic stenosis may be concomitant diseases requiring both transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and endovascular aneurysm repair (T/EVAR) in high-risk patients for surgical approaches, but temporal management is not clearly defined yet. The aim of the study was to analyse outcomes of simultaneous versus staged TAVI and T/EVAR.

methodsRetrospective observational multicentre study was performed on patients requiring TAVI and T/EVAR from 2016 to 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 'Simultaneous group' if T/EVAR + TAVI were performed in the same procedure and 'Staged group' if T/EVAR and TAVI were performed in 2 steps, but within 3 months. Primary outcomes were technical success, 30-day mortality/major adverse events and follow-up survival. Secondary outcomes were procedural metrics and length of stay.

resultsForty-four cases were collected; 8 (18%) had T/EVAR and 36 (82%) had EVAR, respectively. Upon temporal determination, 25 (57%) and 19 (43%) were clustered in Simultaneous and Staged groups, respectively. In Staged group, median time between procedures was 72 (interquartile range-IQR: 57-87) days. Preoperative and intraoperative figures were similar. There was no difference in 30-day mortality (Simultaneous: 0/25 versus Staged: 1/19; P = 0.43). Pulmonary events (Simultaneous: 0/25 versus Staged: 5/19; P = 0.01) and need of postoperative cardiac pacemaker (Simultaneous: 2/25 versus Staged: 7/19; P = 0.02) were more frequent in Staged patients. The overall length of stay was lower in the Simultaneous group [Simultaneous: 7 (IQR: 6-8) versus Staged: 19 (IQR: 15-23) days; P = 0.001]. The median follow-up was 25 (IQR: 8-42) months and estimated 3-year survival was 73% with no difference between groups (Simultaneous: 82% versus Staged: 74%; P = 0.90).

conclusionsBoth Simultaneous or Staged T/EVAR and TAVI procedures are effective with satisfactory outcomes. Despite the small numbers, simultaneous repair seems to reduce length of stay and pulmonary complications, maintaining similar follow-up survival.
