Commando procedure in cardiac surgery: a narrative review.
Synthesis in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe Commando procedure is a technically demanding, high-risk cardiac operation. This review synthesizes advancements in the Commando procedure, with emphasis on technical modifications, broadening clinical applications, and associated clinical outcomes.
methodsThe study employed a systematic literature search in PubMed, utilizing the term "Commando Procedure," covering all publication dates, yielding 178 identified articles. The inclusion criteria favored peer-reviewed studies that offered detailed surgical accounts, case series with a minimum of five patients, outcome evaluations, or technical innovations-e.g., novel patching or suture techniques. The editorials and studies devoid of procedural details or quantitative results were excluded. Editorials and studies devoid of procedural details or quantitative results were excluded.
resultsThe review details the expanded clinical applications, technical improvements, and outcome trends of the Commando procedure. Initially crafted to manage aortic annular dilation, the technique now covers a broader spectrum of complex multivalvular diseases. The correlation between recent procedural standardization and broader clinical adoption is evident in improved survival rates. However, unresolved challenges remain. However, unresolved challenges remain.
conclusionIn recent years, we have witnessed a proliferation of procedural modifications and adaptations of the Commando technique, tailored to address anatomically distinct pathologies across heterogeneous clinical scenarios.
