Percutaneous Cannulation for Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery: Results from a Multicenter Registry.
Article in European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo avoid potential groin incision associated complications and further streamline surgery percutaneous femoral cannulation using different vascular closure devices (VCDs) has emerged to establish cardiopulmonary bypass during minimally invasive heart valve surgery (HVS).
designThe Percutaneous peRipheral cannulatiOn for Minimally InvaSive heart valve surgEry (PROMISE) multicentre registry included patients, receiving percutaneous vascular access site (VAS) closure during minimally invasive HVS. Retrospective analyses were performed to evaluate major and minor VAS-related complications of plug- (group 1) vs suture-based (group 2) systems according to modified Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) 3 criteria (ie, retrograde dissection, vascular injury, conversion to surgical cut-down, or vascular intervention).
resultsIn total, 755 patients (66.1% (499/755) male; median age 61.9 years) were included and treated using a plug- (n = 450) or suture-based (n = 305) VCD. Most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (53.8%; 335/755) and atrial fibrillation (29.4%; 222/755), resulting in a median STS Prom Score of 0.5%. Prevalence of peripheral artery disease was 4.4% (33/450). Immediate hemostasis was significantly higher in the plug-based group (99.8% (445/450) vs 77.7% (237/305); P < .001). Accordingly, application of a second VCD (0.0% (0/450) vs 34.8% (106/305); P < .001) as well as conversion rates to surgical cut-down (1.3% (6/450) vs 3.9% (12/305); P = .04) were significantly lower. Prevalence of VAS-related complications (ie, arterio-venous (AV) fistula (0.2% (1/450) vs 0% (0/305); P > .99), pseudoaneurysm (0.4% (2/450) vs 0% (0/305); P = .66), or postoperative VAS bleeding (1.6% (7/450) vs 0.7% (2/305); P = .26)) was low in both the groups (2.9% (13/450) vs 5.2% (16/305); P = .14).
conclusionsVAS-related complications were favourably low in both the groups. Plug-based VCDs are potentially associated with significantly higher rates of immediate hemostasis and lower incidence for additional VCD or surgical cut-down. Usage of dedicated VCD (plug- and suture-based) for VAS closure after percutaneous cannulation is feasible, safe, and further decreases invasiveness in minimally invasive HVS.
