Routine Surveillance Catheterization is Useful in Guiding Management of Stable Fontan Patients.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We developed a Fontan surveillance catheterization protocol as part of routine assessment of stable patients 10 years after Fontan completion. The surveillance catherization includes hemodynamic assessment with inhaled nitric oxide, angiography, liver biopsy, and transcatheter intervention if indicated. We aimed to describe hemodynamic and liver biopsy findings, response to pulmonary vasoreactivity testing, rates of transcatheter intervention, and changes in medical therapy following surveillance catheterization in stable Fontan patients. A single-center retrospective review of Fontan patients undergoing surveillance catheterization between November 2014 and May 2019 was performed. Liver biopsies were independently scored by two pathologists. Sixty-three patients underwent surveillance catheterization (mean age 14.6 ± 3.0 years). The mean Fontan pressure was 11.8 ± 2.1 mmHg. The mean cardiac index was 2.9 ± 0.6 L/min/m
