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 success of the Fontan procedure for congenital single ventricle anatomy has resulted in adult patients with Fontan physiology requiring anaesthesia for cardiac and non-cardiac procedures. We present the perioperative management of a patient with Fontan physiology who underwent electrophysiological study with radiofrequency ablation for atrial tachycardia under general anaesthesia. Good communication between the multidisciplinary teams, a detailed understanding of the patient's complex cardiac anatomy and physiology, as well as the ability to recognise and manage perioperative complications all play a vital role for a successful outcome.
