Concomitant aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting for aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation in a patient with relapsing polychondritis.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare multi-system disease characterized by inflammation in cartilaginous structures and other connective tissues. Cardiovascular complications occur in 10-51% of the patients. We report a case of concomitant aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with relapsing polychondritis. A 71-year-old female with relapsing polychondritis on prednisolone (5 mg/day) for 15 years presented at our hospital for further evaluation of valvular disease. Severe aortic stenosis and severe mitral regurgitation were diagnosed. We performed aortic and mitral valve replacement. During surgery, we found connective tissue surrounding the intima of the sinus of Valsalva and stenosis of the right coronary artery ostium, which was not noted on preoperative coronary angiography. We removed the tissue and performed bypass grafting to the right coronary artery. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and she was discharged 27 days after surgery.
