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

backgroundAnomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AORPA) is a rare and potential fatal kind of congenital heart disease. This study summarizes the techniques and outcomes of 6 infants with AORPA who underwent the surgical repair.

methodsBetween November 2012 and November 2014, 6 infants with AORPA received surgical repair in the Second Xiangya Hospital and were included in the present study.

resultsSix infants (4 male, 66.7 %) with a median age of 101.5 ± 70.0 days, and a median body weight of 4.13 ± 0.62 kg underwent the surgical repair at our institute. There were no operative, in-hospital or follow-up deaths. Clinical symptoms of all 6 patients relieved at time of discharge, and mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) decreased significantly after surgery. During follow-up, there were no further operations or interventions, mild stenosis at the anastomotic site presented in one patient, and all patients were asymptomatic and in stable clinical condition.

conclusionsThe short and mid-term surgical outcomes of AORPA are excellent in this group of operations. Moreover, we believe the direct implantation to be the optimal surgical strategy for the patients with the proximal form of AORPA.
