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
Objective: To assess the efficacy of preoperative full aortic computed tomography (CT) to reduce complications during surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Methods: A single-center retrospective study examined all SAVR procedures from 2013 to 2015, comparing outcomes between surgeries planned with CT and those without. The study assessed how CT imaging adapted surgical methods, including cannulation and the possibility of switching from SAVR to interventional therapy. The analysis primarily focused on the occurrence of in-hospital complications. Results: Out of 359 patients analyzed, those who received presurgical CT ( Conclusion: CT is associated with reduced in-hospital complications in SAVR patients and could enhance patient outcomes when used in preoperative planning. This supports the recommendation for incorporating CT into routine preoperative assessment to enable personalized surgical strategies, potentially including a shift to transcatheter treatments when indicated.
