Lessons learned during my 25 years as Dr. Carpentier's echocardiographer.
Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
My collaboration with Professor Carpentier began in the early 1990s and was to continue for more than 25 years. Ours was a unique relationship based on mutual respect and unwavering trust: he liked to introduce me as "the justice of the peace", a symbol of the power of partnership. The lessons I learned during my 25 years with Professor Carpentier could be summarized in four key messages: understanding the surgeon's needs based upon the pathophysiological triad and functional approach, establishing a dedicated two-dimensional (2D)/three-dimensional (3D) intra-operative echo protocol in a common language, participating in evolution and evaluation of mitral valve reconstruction and transmitting knowledge to younger generations by education: "give to be given". I owe my entire professional career to him. Beyond that, we have forged an unbreakable bond, a relationship that is not only scientific but also deeply human. This filial bond will last forever.
