[Aortic valve reconstruction surgery with Ozaki technique: initials results from a single center].
Article in Archivos de cardiologia de Mexico, 2023. 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: Aortic valve (AV) replacement is the gold standard treatment for severe symptomatic AV disease. Recently, AV reconstruction surgery (Ozaki procedure) emerges as a surgical alternative with good results in the medium term. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients who underwent AV reconstruction surgery between January 2018 and June 2020 in a national reference center in Lima, Peru. The median age was 62 years, interquartile range (IQR: 42-68). The main indication for surgery was AV stenosis (62.2%), in most cases due to bicuspid valve (19 patients, 51.4%). Twenty-two (59.4%) patients had another pathology with surgical indication associated to AV disease, 8 (21.6%) had dilatation of the ascending aorta with indication for replacement. Results: One in-hospital death occurred (1/38, 2.7%) due to perioperative myocardial infarction. There was a significant reduction in the medians of the peak (70 mmHg, CI 95% = 50.03-79.86 vs. 14 mmHg, CI 95% = 11.93-17.5, p < 0.0001) and mean (45.5 mmHg CI 95% = 30.6-49.68 vs. 7 mmHg, CI 95% = 5.93-9.6, p < 0.0001) AV gradients when we compared baseline characteristics with first 30-days results. In an average of 19 (± 8.9) months of follow-up, survival, reoperation-free survival for valve dysfunction, and survival free of AV insufficiency ≥ II were 97.3%, 100% and 91.9%, respectively. Significant reduction in the medians of the peak and mean AV gradients was maintained. Conclusions: AV reconstruction surgery showed optimal results in term of mortality, reoperation-free survival, and hemodynamic characteristics of the neo-AV.
