Use of Large Balloon Catheter to Treat Infants With Pulmonary Valve Stenosis.
Article in Texas Heart Institute journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is a safe and effective treatment for isolated pulmonary valve stenosis. Several balloon catheters are available for this procedure in neonates and infants. However, obtaining additional vascular access for the double-balloon technique in this population is troublesome, and tricuspid valve injury is a concern. We used a TMP PED balloon catheter to perform valvuloplasty in 2 infants with isolated pulmonary valve stenosis. This thin-walled, relatively large 12-mm balloon catheter can be delivered through a small-diameter sheath. In both cases, the transpulmonary pressure gradient was reduced without causing any valvular or vascular injuries. Neither patient had recurrent pulmonary valve stenosis. Together, these cases highlight the suitability and feasibility of using the 12-mm TMP PED balloon catheter for treating young infants with valvular stenosis.
