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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical implementation of ventricular septal defect closure using the three transthoracic approaches.

methodsA total of 70 children with septal defects admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 were selected as the study subjects. Among them, 10 children with the left thorax-right ventricle-left ventricle approach were assigned to Group A, 8 children with the right thorax-atrium dextrum-right ventricle-left ventricle approach were assigned to Group B, and 52 children with the subxyphoid-right ventricle-left ventricle approach were assigned to Group C. The surgical indices were recorded, the success rates of closure and cardiopulmonary function indices were compared, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram and X-ray film were investigated at 1, 3 and 12 months after surgery, and the incidence of complications was recorded.

resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the success rate of closure among the three groups (

conclusionVentricular septal defect closure using the three transthoracic approaches exhibited a high success rate and a high safety profile.
