Mini-Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement with Concomitant Ablation of the Pulmonary Vein and Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava: A Case Report.
Article in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 79-year-old man with severe aortic valve stenosis and atrial fibrillation was referred to our department for surgery. Computed tomography revealed persistent left superior vena cava. Lower mini-sternotomy was performed. The left atrial appendage was amputated before ablation of the persistent left superior vena cava. The jaw of the ablation device was passed behind the pulmonary veins using a tip-lighted articulating dissector. Finally, aortic valve replacement was completed. Aortic valve replacement with concomitant pulmonary vein and persistent left superior vena cava ablation via lower mini-sternotomy is a safe and less invasive alternative.
