Surgical versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement: the future role of robotic aortic valve replacement.
Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Patients desire a minimally invasive option for management of their valve disease. As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains a straightforward short-term solution, it is incumbent upon surgeons to provide an alternative, and preferably non-sternotomy or anterior chest option with the longitudinal benefits of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The present review will focus on the novel use of robotic aortic valve replacement (RAVR) via right lateral transaxillary mini-thoracotomy to perform standard SAVR, which permits the additional ability to perform concomitant procedures using the standard lateral approach popularized in mitral and atrial fibrillation surgery. We will define a role for RAVR in the current landscape of TAVR to provide a minimally invasive and durable operation, allowing for performance of concomitant procedures. Furthermore, we will focus on current literature supporting the safe and stepwise expansion of RAVR worldwide to provide patients requiring aortic valve replacement another option.
