Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm and Gerbode Defects: Patient and Procedural Selection: the Key to Optimising Outcomes.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purpose of reviewIn this review, we reflect on the historical background, clinical features and imaging techniques used to assess Gerbode defects and sinus of Valsalva aneurysms. We aim to review the evolution of treatment strategies and the progression towards less invasive management for these conditions. RECENT
findingsWhile transthoracic echocardiography is often diagnostic, transesophageal echocardiography (2D and 3D) has improved our understanding of these defects and allowed us to more accurately define their anatomy. Cardiac MRI provides improved assessment of the physiological impact of defects by quantifying shunt volume. Transcatheter techniques are currently vying with surgery as the mainstay of treatment. New insights are being discovered regarding diagnostic modalities and treatment pathways. Defining criteria for patient selection for catheter or surgical therapy is essential when deciding on the optimum intervention for the individual patient.
