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

backgroundtetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a complex congenital heart disease with clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Of the few known causes, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is the most common. We sought to define other clinical subgroups by focusing on cardiac and extracardiac features.

methodswe prospectively screened a cohort of adults with TOF using an established protocol by which subjects were categorized as "syndromic" if they had at least 2 of 3 features: dysmorphic facies, learning difficulties, or voice abnormalities. We then compared the prevalence of cardiac and extracardiac features between subjects in the syndromic group (n = 56) and 112 age- and gender-matched subjects who did not meet our syndromic criteria.

resultsthe syndromic group was more likely than the nonsyndromic group to have pulmonary atresia and/or major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (25% vs 13%, P = .04). There was a trend toward a higher prevalence of one or more major congenital extracardiac anomalies, primarily involving the musculoskeletal and genitourinary systems (25% vs 13%, P = .06). Later-onset conditions, including neuropsychiatric disorders (32% vs 17%, P = .03), thyroid disorders (20% vs 4%, P = .001), and hearing deficits (20% vs 0, P < .001), were more common in the syndromic group. The syndromic group tested (n = 50) had neither 22q11.2 deletions nor karyotypic anomalies.

conclusionsimilar to 22q11DS, adults with TOF meeting screening criteria for a possible genetic syndrome are enriched for more severe cardiac disease and late-onset extracardiac features. Increased awareness of this subgroup with a multisystem condition may be helpful for identifying individuals for referral to medical genetics and optimizing management.
