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

In the neonatal period, the surgical mortality of palliation is extremely high for asplenia syndrome complicated by single ventricle combined with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Recently, stent implantation for the pulmonary venous drainage route soon after birth has been used instead of surgery to prevent pulmonary venous occlusion and to maintain stable hemodynamics in the neonatal period or in early infancy. Here, we successfully implanted stents in the ductus venosus (DV) in 2 neonates with asplenia syndrome complicated by infracardiac type TAPVC. The first patient was a 3-day-old male neonate with severe cyanosis. Immediately after TAPVC was diagnosed, we implanted a stent in the DV. The second patient was a 0-day-old female neonate. She was diagnosed as TAPVC by fetal echocardiogram. After the scheduled delivery, a stent was successfully implanted. We believe that stent implantation in the DV in the neonatal period is effective and less invasive than surgery in patients with infracardiac type TAPVC.
