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
Introduction: Patients with severe aortic valve (AV) stenosis or insufficiency can undergo minimally invasive aortic valve surgery with mini-sternotomy (MS) or full sternotomy (FS). Aim: Our study evaluated 5-year outcomes in patients after minimally invasive surgery for aortic valve replacement (AVR) compared with FS access. Material and methods: We conducted a single-center registry data analysis of AV patients who underwent only elective, isolated AVR compared to MS, and FS hospitalized between 2014 and 2024 in the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Medical University of Silesia. Redo, emergency, salvage and concomitant procedures were excluded. The 5-year survival data were verified in the National Health Fund. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to determine FS controls for the MS group in a 1 : 1 ratio with a 0.1 SD caliper. Results: The study group included 1289 elective patients (73 MS, and 1216 FS). All operative and postoperative data before and after PSM are presented in tables. PSM resulted in 65 MS cases and 65 FS controls. The 5-year survival did not differ between groups, either before PSM (HR = 0.92, 95% CI [0.34-2.5]; Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that minimally invasive aortic valve replacement offers comparable 5-year outcomes. The results suggest that the less invasive alternative should be the first choice option for patients with aortic valve diseases.
