1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

aimto document the Egyptian experience with Ozaki procedure in adults and children and compare the clinical outcomes of the procedure to that of aortic valve replacement (AVRc) in adult patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe study included adult and pediatric patients submitted to the Ozaki procedure with available 1-year follow up data. In addition, adult patients submitted to AVRc during the study period were also included for comparison. Recorded outcome parameters included intensive care unit stay, hospital stay and early and late postoperative complications and mortality.

resultsThe present prospective study included 72 adult and 25 pediatric patients with aortic valve disease (AVD). Adult patients were submitted to Ozaki procedure (n = 31) or AVRc (n = 41) while all pediatric patients were submitted to Ozaki procedure. One year follow up demonstrated that patients submitted to the Ozaki procedure had significantly higher peak pressure gradient (28.6 ± 7.6 versus 21.0 ± 5.7 mmHg, p < 0.001) and higher mean pressure gradient (13.5 ± 4.4 versus 10.5 ± 3.2 mmHg, p = 0.002) when compared to patients in the AVRc group. In the Ozaki group, moderate aortic stenosis (AS) was identified in only 1 patient. In the pediatric group, at one year follow up, there were 8 patients (32.0%) with trivial aortic regurgitation (AR), 12 patients (48.0%) with mild AR and 4 patients (16.0%) with moderate AS.

conclusionsOzaki procedure appears to be a promising alternative to AVRc in adults and children with AVD with good efficacy and safety profile.
