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

introductionThis study reports the first cases of neurogenic stunned myocardium in two children with vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation after interventional treatment. PATIENTS: Two newborns with vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation and high output cardiac failure developed a severe reversible left ventricular dysfunction shortly after embolization, concurrently with acute hydrocephalus.

resultsThere was a resolution of the cardiac symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction within a few days under treatment with milrinone and dobutamine.

conclusionsReversible left ventricular dysfunction is observed in adult patients mainly after subarachnoid hemorrhage and is called neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM). Other forms of brain injuries have also been identified accounting for this condition in adults. In pediatric population especially with specific cerebral diseases, NSM may be underdiagnosed.
