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

backgroundTetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is generally diagnosed and surgically repaired early in life, with good overall outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a patient incidentally diagnosed with paucisymptomatic TOF at the age of 56 years old, during investigations for carbon monoxide poisoning. The patient had a history of thyroidectomy, arterial hypertension, and four uncomplicated vaginal deliveries.

conclusionsThis case shows us that some patients with TOF can reach older ages without surgical correction. Late surgical repair should be meticulously decided on a case basis.
