Valve-Sparing Aortic Root Reimplantation: Early- and Mid-Term Outcomes.

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
Valve-sparing root replacement (VSRR) is an alternative to traditional valve-replacing root replacement. We examined early- and mid-term outcomes after VSRR.We performed a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained aortic registry. All patients undergoing VSRR from 2005 to 2023 were included. Statistical analysis was performed in R version 4.3.1. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to describe mortality and freedom from mortality, aortic insufficiency (AI) > 1 + , and aortic valve-related reoperation.Eighty-one patients underwent VSRR, 59 (72.8%) through full sternotomy (FS) and 22 (27.2%) through upper hemisternotomy. There were no cases of AI > 1+ in the perioperative period, 1 (1.2%) stroke, and no in-hospital mortality. Mean intensive care unit and hospital stay were 3 and 7 days, respectively. Mean follow-up time was 8 years. Freedom from all-cause mortality at 1, 5, and 10 years was 100, 96.6, and 94.4%, respectively. Composite freedom from reoperation, recurrence, or mortality at 1, 5, and 10 years was 98.8, 92.1, and 87.3%, respectively.With careful preoperative selection, VSRR is a durable procedure for patients with aortic root aneurysm.
