Impact of balloon atrial septostomy in neonates with transposition of great arteries.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo examine the impact of balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) on cardio-respiratory status, need for prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and postoperative outcomes in infants with transposition of great arteries (TGA). STUDY
designSingle-center retrospective review of consecutive neonates with dTGA.
resultBAS was performed in 42 (70%) infants and resulted in a significant increase in minimum (61 to 76%) and maximum (80 to 90%) oxygen (O(2)) saturations and a drop in FiO(2). BAS was 'successful,' that is, PGE(1) was discontinued in 16 (38%) infants. Three infants died; four infants developed strokes, all of whom had undergone BAS. The duration of hospitalization, ventilation and O(2) need did not differ between infants without BAS, 'successful' BAS and unsuccessful BAS. PGE(1) duration correlated with duration of hospitalization, ventilation, O(2) need and peak respiratory severity score (P<0.03).
conclusionWe speculate that limiting BAS for clinical hypoxemia and aggressive weaning of PGE(1) following BAS would improve outcomes.
