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

Similar to patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, patients with repaired pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum may need a reintervention at a later stage. Although the role of MRI in the long-term follow-up of patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot has been established, the same has not been established for patients with repaired pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum. To define this role, we quantified the end-diastolic forward flow by fractioning it by the total flow of the main pulmonary artery in two cases during their long-term follow up after biventricular repair. In case 1, a male patient had hepatic congestion and a high end-diastolic forward flow fraction and underwent surgical take down to one and one-half ventricle repair at the age of 18 years. In case 2, a female patient, currently 13 years old, has an increasing end-diastolic forward flow fraction. She is under close observation as a potential candidate for one and one-half ventricle repair in the near future. Both patients had a high end-diastolic forward flow fraction of the total right ventricle output, suggesting that end-diastolic forward flow fraction may become a possible become a possible indicator of the adequacy of biventricular repair and the optimal timing for re-intervention.
