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 Fontan operation has dramatically altered the natural history of functionally single ventricle congenital heart disease. Patients who have undergone the Fontan operation are living longer and, thus, noncardiac morbidity resulting from the Fontan operation is increasingly being recognized. Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), one of the chief morbidities following the Fontan operation, is believed to be a multifactorial process that manifests as hepatic congestion and fibrosis, portal hypertension, and development of focal liver lesions, including malignant tumors. This article reviews the imaging findings of FALD in the pediatric and young adult population, reviews the literature related to the imaging of FALD and discusses possible screening algorithms for this population. The need for further research to better understand the causes of FALD, to establish if early liver stiffness measurements (or their change over time) predict long-term outcomes and complications, and to define optimal liver screening procedures is highlighted.
