First implantation of a bioprosthetic total artificial heart for a mediastinal paraganglioma.
Article in JHLT open, 2026. 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
Resection of cardiac-invasive tumors is challenging, as transplantation is not a viable option for patients with cancer. We report the first implantation of the Aeson total artificial heart (TAH) (Carmat, Vélizy-Villacoublay, France), as a bridge to transplant in a patient with a mediastinal paraganglioma. A 54-year-old man presented with restrictive heart failure related to a paraganglioma. The tumor was invading the right ventricle. No tumor reduction was achieved after chemotherapy. A surgical resection of the tumor combined with the implantation of the Aeson TAH was decided. Embolization of the nutrient vessels of the tumor was performed before surgery to decrease hemorrhagic risk. A positron emission tomography scan at 3 months showed no tumor recurrence. The patient was transplanted 6 months after TAH implantation. No severe primary graft dysfunction or acute rejection was observed. However, the patient developed refractory vasoplegia, which ultimately led to multiorgan failure and death 6 months after transplantation.
