Neonatal repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome: a case report.

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
backgroundTotal anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome in a patient who was diagnosed based on transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography. We observed complete absence of the lung, the bronchial tree, and vascular structures on the right side, with abnormal drainage of the left pulmonary veins into the innominate vein. The patient showed clear clinical evidence of pulmonary venous obstruction and underwent surgery 3 days after birth. The pulmonary venous chamber containing the vertical vein was anastomosed to the left atrium using 7-0 PDS running sutures via a median sternotomy. Echocardiography and computed tomography performed 1 year postoperatively revealed no pulmonary venous obstruction.
conclusionWe report a rare case of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection accompanied by unilateral lung agenesis and Goldenhar syndrome, which was successfully repaired 3 days after birth. A median sternotomy is a safe and effective approach for surgical repair of congenital heart disease with unilateral lung agenesis. Repair of the supra cardiac total anomalous pulmonary connection using the vertical vein is feasible in patients with a small pulmonary venous chamber.
