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

Pulmonary valve stenosis and regurgitation can occur in the distant stages after intracardiac repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Aortic regurgitation (AR) can also occur, although it is rare in postoperative patients. However, there are few reports of simultaneous replacement of the pulmonary and aortic valves in young patients after intracardiac repair of TOF, and there are no clear guidelines for selecting a valve prosthesis in such patients. We report a case of severe pulmonary valve stenosis and regurgitation with severe AR 38 years after the TOF operation, in which urgent double valve replacement and right ventricular outflow tract patching were performed with a mechanical valve in the aortic valve position and a bioprosthetic valve in the pulmonary valve position, with a successful outcome.
