Uni-ventricular palliation vs. bi-ventricular repair: differential inflammatory response.

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
backgroundTo examine whether uni-ventricular palliation (UVP) and bi-ventricular repair (BVR) result in a different pattern of systemic inflammatory response to pediatric cardiac surgery with extra-corporeal circulation (ECC).
methodsIn 20 children (median age 39.5 months) undergoing either UVP (n = 12) or BVR (n = 8), plasma levels of the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-12 and of procalcitonin (PCT), were measured before, during and after open cardiac surgery up to postoperative day (POD) 10.
resultsEpidemiologic, operative- and outcome variables were similar in both groups but post-operative central venous pressure that was higher in UVP. In the whole cohort, the inflammatory response was characterized by an early important, significant and parallel increase of IL-6 and IL-10 that reached their peak values either at the end of ECC (IL-10) or 4 h postoperatively (IL-6), respectively and by a significant and parallel decrease of TNF-α and IL-12 levels after connection to ECC, followed by a bi-phasic significant increase with a first peak 4 h after ECC and a second at POD 10, respectively. Patients after UVP showed a shift of the cytokine balance with lower IL-6- (p = 0.01) after connection to ECC, lower early post-operative TNF-α - (p = 0.02) and IL-12- (p = 0.04) concentrations and lower TNF-α/IL-10-ratio (p = 0.03) as compared with patients with BVR. Levels of PCT were similar in both groups.
conclusionsUVP is associated with an anti-inflammatory shift of the inflammatory response to cardiac surgery that might be related to the particular hemodynamic situation of patients with UVP.
