1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is a rare cardiac anomaly that may remain silent until rupture, often leading to acute heart failure. Surgical intervention is advised for unruptured SVAs when large, progressive, or associated with aortic regurgitation (AR). We report a 72-year-old woman with a 25-mm right coronary SVA and severe symptomatic AR. Transthoracic echocardiography confirmed severe AR with preserved ventricular function. A Bentall procedure using a bioprosthetic valve and Valsalva graft was performed, with coronary button reimplantation with the Carrel patch technique. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient remained free of recurrence at 2-year follow-up. This case highlights the Bentall procedure as a durable option for unruptured SVA with root distortion and valve involvement, offering reliable prevention of late AR and reintervention.
