Anatomy of the aortic root: implications for aortic root reconstruction.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Since the introduction of valve-preserving root replacement and aortic annuloplasty, precise understanding of the aortic root anatomy has emerged as a key to successful aortic valve-preservation surgery. Fundamentally, surgeons need to know the precise anatomical definition and structure of the aortic root, including its normal dimensions, know the anatomy of the coronary arteries, and understand the cardiac conduction system. Surgeons must be able to clearly distinguish normal and abnormal structures, and recognize the effects of aortic valve regurgitation or root expansion on dimensions and geometric relationships within the aortic root. Possessing a detailed understanding of the aortic root, surgeons can select appropriately sized grafts and achieve optimum annular fixation. This review covers the essentials of aortic root anatomy and provides tips for correct and safe performance of aortic valve-preservation surgery with a view toward durable late outcomes.
