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

The Fontan operation has been nothing short of revolutionary in its influence on the modern management of patients born with functionally univentricular hearts. The vast majority of these individuals are now surviving well into adulthood. In the 45 years since its introduction, however, there has been increasing recognition of Fontan survivors as a vulnerable population with an altered physiology that has remarkably broad, adverse impact on their long-term health. In this review, the authors discuss the varied manifestations, both cardiac and extracardiac, of the failing Fontan circulation and potential therapeutic options. In addition, a general clinical approach to the patient presenting with Fontan failure is proposed. Ultimately, the key to improving our care and understanding of the Fontan population lies in multi-institutional collaboration and partnership between subspecialty cardiologists and specialists in other organ systems.
