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

backgroundOptimal management for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is controversial. We applied different surgical strategies based on individual variations in our single-centered practice over 10 years, aming to describe the mid-term results.

methodsFrom January 2008 to June 2021, 90 patients with ccTGA were reviewed and grouped by three different surgical strategies: 41 cases with biventricular correction as biventricular group, 11 cases with 1.5 ventricular correction as 1.5 ventricular group, and 38 cases with Fontan palliation as univentricular group. The mean age at primary surgery was 41.4 ± 22.7 months. Patients were followed for mortality, complications, reoperation, cardiac function, and valve status.

resultsThe median follow-up period was 5.1 years (range, 1.5-12.5 years). The overall 10-year survival and freedom from reoperation rate was 86.7 and 82.4%, respectively. There were 3 early deaths and 3 mid-term deaths in the biventricular group, while 2 early deaths and 1 mid-term deaths were reported in the univentricular group. Although 1.5 ventricular group presented no death and the fewest complications, we still found similar mortality (

conclusionSatisfactory mid-term outcomes could be achieved for highly selected ccTGA patients using the whole spectrum of surgical techniques. Moreover, 1.5 ventricular correction, as a new emerging technique in recent years, might hold great promise in future practice.
