Grafts and Patches: Optimized but Not Optimal Materials for Congenital Heart Surgery.
Review in Pediatric cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
A variety of materials are available for the surgery of children with congenital heart defects. In addition to growth-related mismatch, degeneration of the material in particular frequently leads to reoperation. Therefore, the choice of conduits and patches should be made carefully. This article provides an overview of the most commonly implanted materials in pediatric cardiac surgery.Structural changes can be detected in all available materials. Depending on the age at implantation and the site of implantation, the extent and time course of material degeneration vary. Autologous material is still the gold standard in reconstructive surgery. Biological materials have largely replaced artificial materials in clinical use.The search for the ideal material continues. In pediatric cardiac surgery, there are only optimized but no optimal materials.
