The effectiveness and safety of pulmonary autograft as living tissue in Ross procedure: a systematic review.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Reports on effectiveness and safety after the implant of pulmonary autograft (PA) living tissue in Ross procedure, to treat both congenital and acquired disease of the aortic valve and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), show variable durability results. We undertake a quantitative systematic review of evidence on outcome after the Ross procedure with the aim to improve insight into outcome and potential determinants. Methods: A systematic search of reports published from October 1979 to January 2021 was conducted (PubMed, Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase and Cochrane library) reporting outcomes after the Ross procedure in patients with diseased aortic valve with or without LVOT. Inclusion criteria were observational studies reporting on mortality and/or morbidity after autograft aortic valve or root replacement, completeness of follow-up >90%, and study size n≥30. Forty articles meeting the inclusion criteria were allocated to two categories: pediatric patient series and young adult patient series. Results were tabulated for a clearer presentation. Results: A total of 342 studies were evaluated of which forty studies were included in the final analysis as per the eligibility criteria. A total of 8,468 patients were included (7,796 in pediatric cohort and young adult series and 672 in pediatric series). Late mortality rates were remarkably low alongside similar age-matched mortality with the general population in young adults. There were differences in implantation techniques as regard the variability in stress and the somatic growth that recorded conflicting outcomes regarding the miniroot Discussion: The adaptability of lung autograft to allow for both stress variability and somatic growth make it an ideal conduit for Ross's operation. The use of the miniroot technique over subcoronary implantation for better adaptability to withstand varying degrees of stress is perhaps more applicable to different patient subgroups.
