Technical Feasibility on the Use of Optical Coherence Tomography in the Evaluation of Pediatric Pulmonary Venous Stenosis.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) in children is a morbid disease and limited progress has been made in improving outcomes for this heterogenous group of patients. Evaluation is currently limited to imaging techniques that fail to provide an adequate overview of the intraluminal and luminal pathology perpetuating our limited understanding of this condition. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality which provides intraluminal profiling with microstructural detail through optical reflective technology. We sought to evaluate whether its use was technically feasible in pediatric PVS and whether the imaging data provided potentially useful outputs for clinical utility. Eleven patients were prospectively selected from our cardiac catheterization for OCT evaluation of their pulmonary veins (PV) during elective catheterization for PVS. Measurements were taken both pre and post intervention using both manual and automated tools. Stent morphology was characterized. Eleven patients had evaluation of 34 pulmonary veins, with 7 patients having more than one assessment, for a total of 25 overall catheterizations. Most patients were female (75%). Median age at cardiac catheterization was 35 months (range 5-45 months). Median weight of subjects was 10.6 kg (3.7-14.2) with a median BSA documented at 0.505 m
