Partial cardiopulmonary bypass in thoracoabdominal aorta repair: a safe alternative in a low-volume center.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
objectiveTo describe postoperative outcomes with the use of partial CPB for thoracoabdominal aortic repair.
methodsWe included all the patients who underwent programmed thoracoabdominal aortic procedures in which partial cardiopulmonary bypass was used at a single institution. Long term follow-up was collected by review of health records, national databases and via telephone.
resultsThe study involved 134 patients. Hypertension was present in 78% of patients. The primary surgical indication was an aortic aneurysm (67%), though aortic dissection was also common (33%). Extensive repairs and postoperative complications, such as acute kidney injury and RRT requirement, were significantly associated with increased mortality (p < 0.05). Patients with aortic dissection had worse outcomes, including higher rates of hypertension, stroke, and other complications (p < 0.05). Early mortality was notably higher in extent and II and IV repairs.
conclusionsThoracoabdominal aorta repair can be safely performed with the use of partial CPB in a low-volume setting when undertaken by a dedicated, experienced Aorta team.
