Midterm Outcomes of Graft Insertion Technique for Redo Aortic Root Surgery.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 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
purposeThis study evaluated the midterm outcomes, including adverse aortic events (AAEs), of the "graft insertion technique" (GIT) for left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and aortic root reconstruction.
methodsFrom August 2014 to March 2024, 14 consecutive patients underwent GIT for LVOT and aortic root reconstruction. The indications for surgery were prosthetic valve endocarditis in 9 cases and noninfectious pseudoaneurysm in 5 cases. Among these patients, seven (50.0%) underwent aortic root surgery, while the other seven (50.0%) underwent aortic valve replacement alone or in combination with other procedures without aortic root surgery. Their mean EuroSCORE II was 28.8 ± 17.6.
resultsThe mean total operation time was 504 ± 87 min. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times were 311 ± 41 and 240 ± 45 min, respectively. Operative mortality occurred in one case (7.1%), and five patients (35.7%) died during the first year of follow-up. No surviving patients experienced recurrent endocarditis. No patients died from cardiovascular events or infections after the second year of follow-up. Furthermore, no AAEs were observed on computed tomography during the follow-up period after hospital discharge.
conclusionGIT is a feasible alternative for high-risk cases of redo aortic root surgery.
