One-stage surgical management for advanced dilated cardiomyopathy combined with aortic sinus aneurysm: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a highly effective procedure for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, prolonging patient life and improving quality. Additional cardiac pathologies, especially valvular regurgitation or coronary heart disease, are common in LVAD recipients, whereas reports on the surgical management of heart failure combined with aortic disease are rare. Case presentation: We present a case of a 60-year-old patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and end-stage heart failure. LVAD implantation was performed concomitantly with the Bentall procedure and Cabrol shunt technique. The patient was discharged uneventfully on postoperative day 26. This suggests that combining LVAD implantation with additional cardiovascular procedures could be an alternative strategy for patients with complex heart failure conditions. Conclusion: LVAD implantation combined with additional aortic surgery can be a feasible alternative with acceptable risk, especially for patients who have elected to pursue LVAD as destination therapy. Successful outcomes require adequate preoperative evaluation, experienced cardiac surgeons, and close postoperative care.
