Left Anterior Mini-Thoracotomy for Adult Complicated Subarterial Ventricular Septal Defect.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lack of consensus remains for the minimally invasive surgical repair of adult subarterial ventricular septal defects, and the technique has rarely been reported for cases complicated by other cardiac anomalies. We describe a left anterior mini-thoracotomy through the third intercostal incision in an adult woman for combined subarterial ventricular septal defect repair and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction relief. We consider this minimally invasive technique a balanced approach for correction of a complicated subarterial ventricular septal defect in adults.
