Challenging Cases of Aortic Prosthesis Dysfunction, the Importance of Multimodality Imaging, a Case Series.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a promising complementary technique for evaluation of cardiac native and prosthetic structures. MDCT is able to provide a broader coverage with faster scan acquisition times that yield higher spatial and temporal resolution for cardiac structures whose quality may be affected by artifacts on ultrasound. We report a case series about the most challenging complications occurring after prosthetic aortic valve implantation in four patients: pannus, paravalvular leak, prosthesis' misfolding and subaortic membrane reformation. In all the cases, enhanced MDCT using a retrospective protocol provided accurate 3D morphoanatomic information about cardiac and extracardiac structures, improving and speeding up the correct diagnosis and treatment planning. Integrated imaging, in particular with MDCT, is now the present, and it will increasingly be the future in the assessment of cardiac structural pathology.
