An innovative minimally invasive approach for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: Transaortic septal myectomy via right infra-axillary incision.
Article in JTCVS techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Objective: To assess the short-term outcomes of the transaortic modified Morrow procedure when performed via a minimally invasive right infra-axillary incision. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study at a single center of patients diagnosed with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy from September 2021 to July 2023. Results: The cohort comprised 148 patients (mean age 47.2 ± 15.0 years; 59.5% male). A majority (137/148, 92.6%) presented with systolic anterior motion. All procedures were successfully completed through a 4- to 5-cm right infra-axillary incision, without requiring conversion to sternotomy. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a significant reduction in maximum septal thickness from 20.9 ± 5.0 mm to 14.4 ± 3.5 mm (95% confidence interval, 5.66-7.28; Conclusions: The transaortic modified Morrow procedure, performed through a minimally invasive right infra-axillary incision, shows favorable short-term outcomes.
