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

abstractFailure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a rare but critical intraoperative challenge. Common causes include residual structural defects (causing intracardiac shunting, prosthetic valve leaks), left ventricle outflow tract obstruction, ventricular dysfunction, or vasoplegic syndrome. We present the case of a 56-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement. Separation from CPB failed repeatedly due to acute right ventricular dysfunction detected on transesophageal echo. The patient was found to have a congenital anomalous high origin of the right coronary artery (RCA), likely compromised during surgery. Timely recognition and surgical revascularization of the RCA with a saphenous vein graft restored right ventricular function and facilitated successful weaning. This case highlights the importance of intraoperative echocardiography, awareness of anomalous coronary anatomy, and prompt multidisciplinary decision-making in managing difficult separation from CPB.
