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

purpose of reviewEstablishing the Fontan circulation has led to improved survival in patients born with complex congenital heart diseases. Despite early success, the long-term course of Fontan patients is complicated by multi-organ dysfunction, mainly due to a combination of low resting and blunted exercise-augmented cardiac output as well as elevated central venous (Fontan) pressure. Similarly, despite absolute hemodynamic differences compared to the normal population with biventricular circulation, the "normal" ranges of hemodynamic parameters specific to age-appropriate Fontan circulation have not been well defined. With the ever-increasing population of patients requiring Fontan correction, it is of utmost importance that an acceptable range of hemodynamics in this highly complex patient cohort is better defined. RECENT

findingsMultiple publications have described hemodynamic limitations and potential management options in patients with Fontan circulation; however, an acceptable range of hemodynamic parameters in this patient population has not been well defined. Identification of "normal" hemodynamic parameters among patients with Fontan circulation will allow physicians to more objectively define indications for intervention, which is a necessary first step to eliminate institutional and regional heterogeneity in Fontan management and potentially improve long-term clinical outcomes.
