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
backgroundAortic valve replacement with mechanical valves is the standard treatment for aortic valve disease in Indonesia. Its usage is associated with high cost, risk of endocarditis and thromboembolic event, and lifetime consumption of anticoagulants. We performed a novel replacement technique of the aortic valve using an autologous pericardium and evaluated the short-term outcomes.
methodsFrom April 2017 to April 2020, 16 patients underwent aortic valve replacement with a single-strip autologous pericardium. Outcomes of the left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST-2) were measured at 6 months postoperation.
resultsA total of 16 surgeries were performed using aortic valve replacement with single-strip pericardium without conversion to mechanical valve replacement. The patients included eight males and eight females, and the mean age was 49.63 ± 12.54 years. The most common diagnosis was mixed aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation (9 cases). Five patients underwent a concomitant coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure and 12 patients underwent either mitral or tricuspid valve repair. The mean aortic cross-clamp time was 139.88 ± 23.21 minutes and cardiopulmonary bypass time was 174.37 ± 33.53 minutes. At 6 months postoperation, there was an increase in the distance walked at the 6MWT (
conclusionAortic valve replacement with a single strip of pericardium is a good alternative to aortic valve replacement with a mechanical valve. Short-term evaluation at 6 months postoperation showed improvement in clinical status and echocardiographic parameters compared to baseline.
