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

Anomalies in development of the pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk and peripheral pulmonary arteries are typical accompanying pathologies in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). Demanding for diagnostics and borderline for treatment is a condition colloquially called "discontinuous pulmonary arteries", while the main branches are supplied with systemic blood from the ascending aorta, aortic arch or descending thoracic aorta. We present a case of a one-year-old girl with ToF and anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) from Kommerell's diverticulum who underwent two-stage surgical therapy with the support of interventional cardiology. We conclude that early diagnosis of discontinuous pulmonary artery is crucial for choosing the optimal operative strategy. In our opinion, simultaneous anatomic intracardiac correction with direct pulmonary reconstruction seems reasonable and effective, particularly when the result is achieved after joint efforts of cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology.
