Surgical Repair of Aortic Atresia in an Adult.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short 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
Aortic atresia is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that occurs in adults. Differentiating it from interrupted aortic arch without open surgery is difficult. In some patients with type A interrupted aortic arches, aortic atresia may actually be caused by aortic coarctation. A 38-year-old man was diagnosed with aortic atresia, aortic regurgitation with a bicuspid valve, and aortic root enlargement. The surgery was performed in 2 stages. First stage: Descending aortic replacement with partial cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest. Second stage: Bentall procedure with mechanical valve replacement. We discuss the pathophysiology of interrupted aortic arch and aortic atresia in adults.
