Are early outcomes of reoperative aortic root surgery impacted by previous root procedure and indication for reintervention?

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: Reoperative aortic root surgery after a previous root procedure is technically demanding, which can impact outcomes. Herein, we examined the impact of previous root procedure and operative indication on early outcomes. Methods: From January 2010 to December 2022, 632 patients underwent reoperative aortic root surgery after previous root procedure (true redo root) at our institution. Baseline characteristics, operative details, and in-hospital complications were compared between groups on the basis of type of previous root prosthesis and infective endocarditis indication. Results: In the whole cohort, the operative mortality was 2.2% and estimated survival was 93%, 80%, and 67% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. Operative mortality was similar between previous homograft, Bentall, Freestyle, valve-sparing root reimplantation, and Ross (2%, 4%, 0%, 4%, and 0%, respectively, Conclusions: At experienced centers, aortic root reoperation (true redo root) can be performed with low operative mortality. Explant of prosthetic graft material and endocarditis are associated with more complicated postoperative course, without significantly increased operative mortality.
