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
Materials and Methods: The suggested algorithm consists of three blocks: "Generator", "Modeling", "Analysis". The first block creates a three-dimensional model of the leaflet apparatus using the specified parameters (height, radius, thickness, degree of "sagging", angle of the free edge deviation). Numerical simulation of the apparatus functioning is further performed using the finite element method. Then, the statistical analysis of the von Mises stresses is done and the opening area of the design in question is calculated.Verification was performed by comparing quantitatively the lumen areas of the leaflet apparatus in the open state, obtained from the literature data for the Trifecta bioprosthesis (19, 21, and 23 mm in diameter), with the results of the described algorithm operation. Results: The verification of the algorithm has demonstrated the following deviations in the lumen area in the open state: 2.85% for 19 mm, 14.81% for 21 mm, and 23.17% for 23 mm models. This difference is due to the choice of the model material (no data could be found on the physical and mechanical properties of the pericardium used for the fabrication of the Trifecta bioprostheses).The generation of a large number of designs (n=1517) without fixation of certain geometry parameters has shown that thickness of the leaflet apparatus makes the greatest contribution to the degree of opening; its dependence on the thickness and arising peak von Mises stresses has been demonstrated. Of the valvular models obtained, 278 showed the opening degree greater than 80% and maximum peak von Mises stresses below 4 MPa for the proposed model of the pericardium, which is 65% below the ultimate strength of the material.Out of 278 leaflet models, 3 "optimal" designs were selected meeting the diameter criteria of 19, 21, and 23 mm. The loss index for them was 0.24, 0.19, 0.20 with the opening degrees of 88.28, 84.48, 88.12%, and maximum peak von Mises stresses of 3.62, 1.21, 1.87 MPa, respectively. Conclusion: The developed algorithm makes it possible to automatically generate three-dimensional models of the leaflet apparatus, numerically simulate the opening process using the finite element method, statistically analyze the results obtained, and calculate the lumen area. The algorithm was verified based on the data for the Trifecta bioprosthesis of three standard sizes. The presented algorithm can be used both for the research and development of various designs and for obtaining "optimal" models of sash devices.
