Giant pulmonary artery aneurysm in a child: Rare complication of congenital heart disease.

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
Key Clinical Message: This case report aims to increase awareness that pulmonary artery aneurysms may occur as a complication of neglected patent ductus arteriosus and should be sought in children with ill-treated congenital heart diseases. Abstract: Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare anomaly with an autopsy prevalence of 1:14,000. These aneurysms can arise secondary to various etiologies, with congenital causes identified in 25% of cases and congenital heart diseases (CHD) responsible for more than half of these cases. A 12-year-old boy with CHD in the form of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and irregular clinical follow-up presented with new onset fatigue of 3 months duration. A physical examination revealed anterior chest wall bulging and a continuous murmur. A chest radiograph showed a smooth left hilar region opacity that has a close relation with the left cardiac border. Transthoracic echocardiogram shows no progression from the previous one; there was a large PDA and pulmonary hypertension, but no further information was available. Computed tomography angiography revealed a giant aneurysm of the main pulmonary artery (PA), with a maximum diameter of 8.6 cm, and dilatation of its branches of 3.4 and 2.9 cm for the right and left PA, respectively.
