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

Apicocaval juxtaposition (ACJ) is a rare form of viscerocardiac malpositions in association with single-ventricle congenital heart defects. The Fontan surgery is the common palliation, and possible surgical options include ipsilateral, contralateral, and intra-atrial conduits. Concerns include lower hemodynamic performances or risks of conduit compression by the cardiac mass. This study investigates the hemodynamics and clinical outcomes of ACJ patients and potential surgical improvements. Ten consecutive ACJ patients were included, along with a reference cohort of ten non-ACJ patients. Magnetic resonance images were acquired at 6 ± 0.6 year follow-up for anatomical analysis and hemodynamic assessments using computational fluid dynamics. Metrics of interest are deformation index (DI), indexed power loss (iPL), and hepatic flow distribution (HFD
