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

backgroundOne of the congenital heart defects which can cause severe cardiac symptoms and cardiac failure in early childhood and neonatal duration is coarctation of aorta. Balloon angioplasty or surgical approach could be done for management of these defects. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of coarctation stenting to improve the condition of these patients.

methodsFive patients with severe coarctation of aorta participated in this study. Balloon angioplasty performed for these patients initially. Each of five patients had a gradient decline after the initial balloon angioplasty, and againing gradients increased during the follow-up; then, they were treated by implanting a stent. We used Cook Formula stents for these patients.

resultsThe pressure gradient decreased in all 5 patients with maximum and minimum reduction of 55 and 35 mmHg; and we had not severe complication during or after the procedure and during the follow-up period.

conclusionPerforming a stent in selected small children and infants that have sever and symptomatic coarctation of aorta can be effective and safe in improving patients' clinical state, and preventing surgery.
