Hand-Made Polytetrafluoroethylene Tricuspid-Valved Conduit for Surgical Reconstruction of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract in a Child With Truncus Arteriosus.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Although a new right ventricle outflow can be introduced during pulmonary artery reconstruction, it is a suboptimal option as the valved conduits that mimic the natural right ventricular outflow do not grow, and a surgical conduit replacement cannot be averted. This study reported the implementation of hand-made polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tricuspid-valved conduits to rebuild the right ventricular outflow tract in toddlers with truncus arteriosus and risk factors for earlier conduit explant. Herein, we described a case report of a 9-month-old toddler diagnosed in November 2021 with truncus arteriosus type I with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, who has been successfully discharged 20-days postoperative surgical reconstruction with good bi-ventricular functions. Hand-made PTFE tricuspid-valved conduits are efficient in the reconstruction process of the right ventricular outflow tract in children with truncus arteriosus. The conduits are cheap, easily available, and lack potential sensitization.
