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

Objective: To compare outcomes of the Ross procedure in patients older than and younger than 50 years of age. Methods: This is a review of patients who underwent a Ross procedure at a participating site in the North American Ross Consortium. Data were analyzed for differences in short- and medium-term outcomes. Results: Total cohort size was 477 patients, with n = 350 <50 years old and n = 127 ≥50 years. The median age of the entire cohort was 41 years; 37 in the <50 years cohort and 54 in the ≥50 years cohort ( Conclusions: The Ross procedure can be safely performed in patients older than 50 years in select centers. There is a greater risk of stroke and postoperative atrial fibrillation/flutter in older patients; however, perioperative survival is similar.
