Long-Term Influence of Atrial Switch Operation on Hemodynamics After the Rastelli Procedure.

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
The study aimed to investigate the long-term influence of atrial switch on post-Rastelli hemodynamic condition. Of 112 patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) or TGA-type double outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and pulmonary stenosis (PS) who underwent intra-cardiac repair between 1979 and 2018, 50 patients with levo-TGA underwent atrial switch and Rastelli as an anatomic repair and 62 patients with dextro-TGA underwent Rastelli. Postoperative outcomes were retrospectively compared. The median follow-up durations were 20.1 years (interquartile range: 4.3, 32.4) in the Rastelli group and 15.3 years (7.1, 23.0) in the atrial switch plus Rastelli group (p = 0.19). Sex, age, and weight at operation were similar in both groups. Overall survival rates at 30 years were 69.8% in the Rastelli group and 80.1% in the atrial switch plus Rastelli group (p = 0.18). The atrial switch plus Rastelli group required more frequent catheter interventions (p < 0.001), mainly for caval obstruction (n = 8) and atrial arrhythmia (n = 6). Medication was more frequent in the atrial switch plus Rastelli group (p = 0.009). Exercise capacity was similarly reduced in two groups. Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) occurred in three long-term survivors in the atrial switch plus Rastelli group (p = 0.07). Concomitantly performed atrial switch operation did not affect long-term survival and exercise capacity after Rastelli procedure. However, the occurrence of PLE, a frequent need for medication, and catheter interventions after atrial switch plus Rastelli may result from atrial switch under the post-Rastelli condition.
