Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: A Rare Mechanical Cause of Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) is an infrequent condition commonly affecting the right coronary sinus. It is typically asymptomatic unless it compresses or ruptures into nearby structures. CASE SUMMARY: A 52-year-old man presented to the emergency department with clinical features of heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large SOVA with associated aortic regurgitation (AR), right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTo), and biventricular dysfunction. Given concern for impending rupture and hemodynamic compromise, the patient was transferred to a tertiary center with a dedicated aortic team for surgical repair. DISCUSSION: This is a case of a right saccular SOVA complicated by severe AR, RVOTo, and biventricular failure. Multimodality imaging is needed to define its anatomic extent and functional effect on neighboring structures. Surgical repair is preferred. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Unruptured giant SOVA can cause severe AR and RVOTo, leading to acute heart failure and mimicking myocardial infarction. Multimodality imaging and early referral to a specialized centers are critical for timely surgical management.
