Beating-Heart Pulmonary Valve Replacement for Isolated Monocuspid Valve.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundA monocuspid pulmonary valve is a rare cardiac anomaly that is most commonly seen in patients with other congenital heart defects. Its isolated occurrence is extremely rare. CASE SUMMARY: A 20-year-old woman with a history of congenital heart disease presented with exertional dyspnea and generalized weakness. Imaging revealed severe right ventricular dilation and significant enlargement of the main pulmonary artery. Owing to the high risk of aneurysm rupture, she underwent aneurysmectomy, aneurysmorrhaphy, and pulmonary valve replacement (PVR). The heart was maintained in a beating state throughout the procedure, including during cardiopulmonary bypass without cardioplegic arrest. DISCUSSION: This case demonstrates the feasibility of performing PVR and aneurysm repair using the beating-heart technique.
conclusionsMonocuspid pulmonary valve can occur in isolation and may cause progressive pulmonary valve insufficiency and aneurysmal dilation. Beating-heart PVR is a novel and less invasive surgical approach compared with traditional methods.
