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

We present a novel technique for tricuspidation of the very asymmetrical bicuspid aortic valve (AV) with commissural orientation of about 120-140, via replacement of the fused AV cusp with 2 neo-cusps. The neo-cusps are fashioned from bovine pericardium and sutured to the annulus. Successful repair using the described technique requires good quality and adequate commissure height of the non-fused cusp. Since 2020, this technique has been applied to 15 patients. To date, all patients are alive with well-functioning AVs, presenting no or trivial insufficiency, large orifice areas, and nearly physiological transvalvular gradients.
