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

Congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels may lead to localized recurrent pulmonary infections through different mechanisms. Pulmonary artery sling (left pulmonary artery originating from the right pulmonary artery) and Scimitar syndrome are rare causes of wheezing in infants. An 18-month-old female infant with left pulmonary artery sling, Scimitar syndrome, and an anomalous connection of left pulmonary veins to the left atrium was admitted to our clinic. She successfully underwent transcatheter embolization using the Vascular Plug-II on the anomalous systemic arterial supply and repair of pulmonary arterial sling and Scimitar anomaly via a median sternotomy. In conclusion, diagnosis of left pulmonary arterial sling accompanied by abnormalities can be missed in some cases using echocardiography. It may be necessary to conduct more advanced imaging methods before deciding the treatment method to be performed in these patients.
