Fontan "Ten Commandments" revisited and revised.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Choussat's "Ten Commandments," which describes the components of an ideal Fontan candidate, was first published in 1977. Despite the wisdom in these commandments, it is clear from a historic perspective that total compliance with all criteria does not necessarily portend excellent long-term survival. I believe the end point of the original commandments should be modified to include improvement in long-term survival. I suggest the following single commandment: "Thou Shalt Be Perfect."
