Venous Flow Variation Predicts Preoperative Pulmonary Venous Obstruction in Children with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection.
Article in Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography : official publication of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundIdentifying preoperative pulmonary venous obstruction in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is important to guide treatment planning and risk prognostication. No standardized echocardiographic definition of obstruction exists in the literature. Definitions based on absolute velocities are affected by technical limitations and variations in pulmonary venous return. The authors developed a metric to quantify pulmonary venous blood flow variation: pulmonary venous variability index (PVVI). The aim of this study was to demonstrate its accuracy in defining obstruction.
methodsAll patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection at a single institution were identified. Echocardiograms were reviewed, and maximum (V
resultsV
conclusionsThe authors developed a novel quantitative metric of pulmonary venous flow, which was superior to traditional echocardiographic metrics. Decreased PVVI was highly associated with elevated gradients measured by catheterization and clinical preoperative obstruction. These results should aid risk assessment and diagnosis preoperatively in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
