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

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different surgical strategies to preserve pulmonary valve function. Surgical procedures evaluated include intraoperative balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (IBPV), pulmonary valve reconstruction, and commissurotomy and pulmonary cusp augmentation (PCA) in patients who underwent a radical operation for Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). Materials and Methods: The five databases searched in the current study included the Cochrane Library, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and WanFang data. A systematic search for control trials was performed in each database from the start date of each database until December 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Results: A total of 15 retrospective studies with a total number of 1,396 participants were included in this study. In subgroup 1 (IBPV vs. TAP), patients undergoing IBPV had a less degree of regurgitation at 1-2 years after the surgery. The reintervention rate increased in the IBPV group at 5 years. In subgroup 2 (pulmonary valve reconstruction vs. TAP), the degree of regurgitation decreased in the pulmonary valve reconstruction group at 1 month after the surgery. In subgroup 3 (valve-sparing operation vs. TAP), the comparison demonstrated decreased rates for surgical mortality and reintervention at 5-10 years after the surgery. Conclusion: We proposed that pulmonary valve function in a radical operation for ToF was preserved. IBPV, pulmonary valve reconstruction, and commissurotomy and PCA can be performed during the surgical procedure based on the developmental status and anatomical characteristics of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), pulmonary valve, and pulmonary artery.
