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: Although the bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a major cause of aortic stenosis (AS), limited evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in BAV patients. This study aimed to compare TAVR outcomes between BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) cohorts. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies reporting 1-year follow-up outcomes. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from a random-effects model. Results: The analysis included 31 studies involving 192,691 patients. Patients with BAV were younger than those with TAV (71.2 vs. 73.2 years, Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrated that TAVR had similar safety and efficacy profiles for BAV and TAV patients. Additionally, BAV patients undergoing TAVR exhibited a reduced 1-year all-cause mortality compared to TAV patients.
