Role of CT in the Pre- and Postoperative Assessment of Conotruncal Anomalies.
Review in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Conotruncal anomalies, also referred to as outflow tract anomalies, are congenital heart defects that result from abnormal septation of the great vessels' outflow tracts. The major conotruncal anomalies include tetralogy of Fallot, double-outlet right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, and interrupted aortic arch. Other defects, which are often components of the major anomalies, include pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, pulmonary valve agenesis, aortopulmonary window, and double-outlet left ventricle. CT has emerged as a robust diagnostic tool in preoperative and postoperative assessment of various congenital heart diseases, including conotruncal anomalies. The data provided with multidetector CT imaging are useful for treatment planning and follow-up monitoring after surgery or intervention. Unlike echocardiography and MRI, CT is not limited by a small acoustic window, metallic devices, and need for sedation or anesthesia. Major advances in CT equipment, including dual-source scanners, wide-detector scanners, high-efficiency detectors, higher x-ray tube power, automatic tube current modulation, and advanced three-dimensional postprocessing, provide a low-risk, high-quality alternative to diagnostic cardiac catheterization and MRI. This review explores the various conotruncal anomalies and elucidates the role of CT imaging in their pre- and postoperative assessment.
