Aortic Root Dissection Due to an Automated Fastener Device.
Article in Texas Heart Institute journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement through a right thoracotomy is frequently performed in patients with aortic valve disease. The Cor-Knot Device (LSI Solutions) is an automated fastener that secures valve sutures. This case report is for a patient who developed postcardiotomy shock during a minimally invasive aortic valve surgery. The patient was found to have an aortic root dissection involving 90% of the aortic root circumference, including bilateral coronary ostia. The autopsy revealed that the aortic damage could be explained by a direct aortic intimal tear from the distal tip of the device shaft. The device was most likely not in perfect apposition to the sewing ring because of the restricted angle and space between the ribs.
