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: The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes for valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) in patients with congenital aortopathy. Methods: In 107 patients undergoing VSRR in an elective setting with preoperative data from 1998 to 2022, information about operative strategy and postoperative course was collected. Patients were assigned to the congenital aortopathy group if a genetic mutation was confirmed or if a bicuspid aortic valve was present and compared with patients with tricuspid aortic valve. Long-term follow-up was obtained through outpatient visits or by telephone interviews. Results: Fifty-two percent (n = 56) were congenital aortopathy patients. Patients without congenital aortopathy were older ( Conclusions: VSRR in congenital aortopathy patients has good long-term results. During follow-up, the rate of thromboembolic events might have an impact on optimal medical therapy.
