Personalized Patient-Specific Patch Augmentation Using Virtual Surgical Planning.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundThe management of coarctation associated with long-segment aortic arch hypoplasia (AAH) remains challenging, especially in preterm babies. CASE SUMMARY: A preterm female infant born at 34 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 1.41 kg presented with prenatally diagnosed coarctation and long-segment transverse AAH, which were confirmed on echocardiography and computed tomography angiography. We performed virtual surgical planning (VSP) to simulate the proposed aortic arch advancement and patch augmentation and designed an appropriate patch. The patch was flattened and used in the operating room as a guide. The arch was repaired with a slightly modified version of the patch. Postoperative imaging showed no residual obstruction. DISCUSSION: There is variable consensus on how to manage coarctation with associated AAH. VSP enables precise preoperative visualization and a tailored personalized surgical approach. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Patient-specific VSP is gaining momentum in congenital heart surgery. It can refine the surgical approach and may lower complications in long-segment AAH repair.
