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

backgroundRobotic-assisted aortic valve replacement (RAVR) has emerged as a novel minimally invasive approach to surgically manage aortic valve disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 74-year-old man presented with several months of worsening dyspnea and chest pain on exertion. Preoperative work-up identified severe aortic stenosis along with coronary artery disease. Despite being at low operative risk, the patient had a small aortic root, coronary disease not amenable to surgical revascularization, and wanted to avoid sternotomy. The decision was made to perform RAVR with percutaneous coronary intervention in a hybrid approach to manage his concomitant pathologies. DISCUSSION: We demonstrate the safety and feasibility of performing RAVR using a sutureless aortic valve prosthesis to optimize hemodynamics in a patient with a small aortic root. We also describe the combination of RAVR and percutaneous coronary intervention as part of a hybrid treatment paradigm to manage concomitant aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease.
