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

Objective: To determine the utility of computed tomography (CT) ventricular volumes and morphometric parameters for deciding the treatment strategy in children with a hypoplastic left ventricle (LV). Materials and Methods: Ninety-four consecutive children were included in this study and divided into small LV single ventricle repair (SVR) (n = 28), small LV biventricular repair (BVR) (n = 6), disease-matched control (n = 19), and control (n = 41) groups. The CT-based indexed LV volumes, LV-to-right-ventricular (LV/RV) volume ratio, left-to-right atrioventricular valve (AVV) area ratio, left-to-right AVV diameter ratio, and LV/RV long dimension ratio were compared between groups. Proportions of preferred SVR in the small LV SVR group suggested by the parameters were evaluated. Results: Indexed LV end-systolic (ES) and end-diastolic (ED) volumes in the small LV SVR group (6.3 ± 4.0 mL/m Conclusion: CT-based ventricular volumes and morphometric parameters can suggest cut-off values for SVR in children with a hypoplastic LV.
