Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting with robotic and laparoscopic-assisted artery harvesting: a case report.
Article in European heart journal. 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
Background: Minimally invasive techniques for harvesting arterial grafts have emerged to meet the demands for less invasive procedures. With the development of various harvesting methods, ensuring the safety and efficacy of these minimally invasive approaches remains critical. This case report describes minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) surgery involving robotic harvesting of the left internal thoracic artery (LIMA) and laparoscopic-assisted harvesting of the right gastroepiploic artery (GEA). Case summary: A 55-year-old male patient underwent minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting, with robotic-assisted harvesting of the left LIMA and laparoscopic-assisted harvesting of the right GEA. The procedural workflow and our experience are described herein. Discussion: This case report emphasizes the importance of multimodality imaging in planning for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting. Robotic harvesting of the IMA and laparoscopic harvesting of the right GEA are safe procedures and can be performed in selected patients.
