Leaflet Perforation Using Cor-Knot in Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 38-year-old woman underwent minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with a 21-mm Inspiris aortic valve and Cor-Knot for type 0 bicuspid valve and severe aortic stenosis. Postoperative transthoracic echocardiography was uneventful. Four months later, she experienced shortness of breath. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderate to severe aortic valve regurgitation, and prosthetic valve dysfunction was suspected. Aortic valve reoperation through a median sternotomy was performed. The bioprosthetic valve was perforated at the noncoronary cusp valve site, probably because of prolonged exposure to the Cor-Knot. When Cor-Knot is used in a narrow space, a perpendicular apposition should always be maintained between the sewing ring and the Cor-Knot tips.
