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

Prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is constantly increasing during the last decades in line with the treatment options for patients ranging from the surgical as well to the interventional spectrum. This mini-review addresses two of the most common defects with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Both diseases are connected to aortic vasculopathy which is one of the most common reasons for morbidity and mortality in young patients with CHD. The review will focus as well on other aspects like medication and treatment of pregnant patients with BAV and CoA. New treatment aspects will be as well reviewed as currently there are additional treatment options to treat aortic regurgitation or aortic aneurysm especially in patients with valvular involvement and a congenital BAV thus avoiding replacement of the aortic valve and potentially improving the future therapy course of the patients.
