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

backgroundMinimally invasive aortic valve procedures through a hemi-sternotomy or a right anterior mini-thoracotomy have gained popularity over the last several years. Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (TEAVR) is an innovative and a less invasive (incision-wise) surgical aortic valve replacement technique. The operative steps of TEAVR have been reported previously from our group. Mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently accompanies aortic valve disease that at times may also require repair. Totally endoscopic surgery in such cases has not been tested. PRESENTATION OF THE TECHNIQUE: We present a surgical technique for a totally endoscopic approach to aortic valve replacement and concomitant mitral valve repair for primary and secondary MR. An aortotomy incision was used avoiding an atriotomy, which results in an increase in cross-clamp (XC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times that could be associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Neochords (artificial chordae tendineae) were used for primary MR and an edge-to-edge approach for secondary MR.

conclusionTEAVR and concomitant mitral valve repair can be performed successfully with reasonable XC and CPB times with excellent short-term results.
