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

Background: Patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have a high incidence of hypoattenuating leaflet thickening (HALT). However, data on biomarkers related to HALT remain limited. Objectives: To identify hemostatic markers associated with HALT following TAVR. Methods: This prospective single-center cohort study assessed hemostatic profiles of patients undergoing TAVR between November 2020 and June 2022 using thrombelastography, light transmission aggregometry, and conventional laboratory markers. The primary outcome was moderate-to-severe HALT (grade 3/4) or reduced leaflet motion (grade 2/3) detected by computed tomography angiography at 6 months post-TAVR. Results: Of the 107 patients included, 68 had interpretable computed tomography angiography at 6 months. The primary outcome occurred in 14 (20%) patients. Biomarkers were measured at a median of 4 days (IQR, 3-6) after TAVR. Shortened clot formation time (R-time with heparin neutralization) indicated an association with HALT at 6 months (odds ratio [OR], 1.12 [95% CI, 1.00; 1.25]; Conclusion: This exploratory study identified associations between HALT and biomarkers of hypercoagulability and inflammation, which did not persist after correction for multiple testing. These findings should be regarded as hypothesis-generating and warrant confirmation in future studies.
