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

Here, we report our unique "non-pledget commissural suture technique" to avoid complete atrioventricular block during surgical aortic valve replacement, whereby all commissural stiches are made in a figure-of-eight fashion without a pledget. Then, standard stiches in a non-everting fashion are made using pledget sutures and a prosthetic valve is implanted at the supra-annular position. Among 152 evaluated patients, only five patients experienced complications, including three left bundle branch blocks, one postoperative pacemaker implantation, and one moderate paravalvular leak. Based on the high success rate, our technique may be a reasonable alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement.
