Severe Aortic Regurgitation in Osteogenesis Imperfecta Complicated by Mediastinal Hematoma.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable type I collagen disorder, can cause aortic regurgitation (AR) and increase perioperative bleeding risk, even with normal routine coagulation tests. CASE SUMMARY: A man in his 40s presented with AR due to right coronary cusp prolapse from cusp bending. Blue sclera and childhood fractures suggested OI. After an attempted repair, surgical aortic valve replacement was performed; a large postoperative mediastinal hematoma with anemia was managed conservatively without reoperation. DISCUSSION: A prior report identified cusp bending in OI mainly by imaging. Our case complements histopathology showing marked fibrosa thinning with spongiosa expansion, which suggests intrinsic leaflet fragility as a substrate for bending and prolapse. It reminds readers that postoperative bleeding can occur despite normal coagulation parameters. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: In young patients with unexplained AR, especially with cusp bending, OI and related connective tissue disorders should be considered. Perioperative care with heightened vigilance for bleeding is planned.
