Y Incision and Roof Technique for Aortic Root Enlargement: A Minimally Invasive Approach.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
The Y incision and roof technique for aortic valve replacement enable implantation of a large prosthetic valve and extensive enlargement of the sinotubular junction. Surgeons have been reluctant to adopt a minimally invasive approach for this procedure because of its complexity and risk. The Stonehenge technique was designed to achieve an ideal surgical view of the aortic root through a small right thoracotomy. Herein, we report implementing a Y incision and roof technique for aortic valve replacement through a minimally invasive approach facilitated by the Stonehenge technique.
