Successful Salvage of an Extracardiac Fontan in the Setting of Purulent Mediastinitis using Antibiotic-Impregnated Beads.

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.
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
Post-cardiotomy mediastinitis is an especially serious complication after the implantation of prosthetic vascular grafts. Standard of care is irrigation, debridement, and removal of all prosthetic material present in the surgical field. The use of antibiotic impregnated beads at the site of infection has been reported in the salvage of vascular grafts in the adult population. We present the case of a 3-year-old child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who developed mediastinitis following the Fontan operation. In a nontraditional approach, the Fontan conduit, which was surrounded by gross purulence, was successfully salvaged with the adjunctive use of vancomycin-impregnated beads.
