The Importance of Aortic Valve Bicuspid Phenotype in Valvular Evolution in Pediatric Patients: A Case Report and Literature Mini-Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most commonly encountered congenital malformation in the pediatric population, associated with aortic leaflet degeneration and aortopathy. However, studies on BAV and its complications in children are limited. We present the case of a 16-year-old with type 1B BAV with a raphe with fusion between the right and non-coronary cusps who exhibited severe aortic stenosis, regurgitation, and progressive dilatation of the ascending aorta. Surgical intervention, including aortic valve and aortic root replacement, was performed due to the patient's deteriorating condition. Histopathological examination revealed degenerative changes and calcifications in the aortic valve and mucoid fibrosis in the ascending aorta. The results are consistent with BAV patients being predisposed to aortic stenosis and regurgitation due to increased mechanical stress and hemodynamic abnormalities. Although more common in adults and a rare complication in pediatric patients, calcification was previously observed concurrently with rapid valve degeneration in our daily practice. Further studies are needed to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying BAV-related complications and refine treatment strategies for pediatric patients.
