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

Extreme pulmonary artery hypoplasia in cyanotic malformations precludes palliative surgeries. When aortopulmonary collaterals (APC) in such patients are also hypoplastic, their unifocalization to create a neopulmonary vasculature is also hampered. Stent angioplasty of the outflow or collateral arteries may reduce hypoxia but is challenging in tortuous and atretic tracts. Fusion imaging overlays anatomical data from computed tomography during adult structural interventions, but its use is not often reported in young children with complex cyanotic malformations. This report shows utility of fusion imaging in pulmonary atresia with extremely hypoplastic pulmonary arteries and stenotic APC to guide stenting of outflow tract and collaterals.
