Higher preoperative Qp/Qs ratio is associated with lower preoperative regional cerebral oxygen saturation in children with ventricular septal defect.

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
purposeThe relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 49 VSD surgical closure candidates at a single institution. Preoperative Qp/Qs ratio was compared with rSO
resultsForty-nine were eligible for the final analysis. The median age at surgery was 6 (interquartile range [IQR]: 3, 12) months, and 36.7% were male. Atrial septal defects coexisted in 51.0%. There were no genetic abnormalities except trisomy 21 in 32.6% of the patients. Pulmonary hypertension was found in 42.8%. The median Qp/Qs ratio, calculated based on catheter testing results before the surgery, was 2.7 (IQR: 2.1, 3.7). Postoperative rSO
conclusionA higher Qp/Qs ratio was associated with a lower preoperative cerebral rSO
