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

A common feature of congenital heart disease is the presence of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction that can range from mild to severe and can lead to atresia of the pulmonary valve, in extreme conditions. RVOT abnormalities can frequently be corrected surgically or via interventional means. However, most of these patients will ultimately develop pulmonary valve insufficiency and eventual right ventricular dilation, which will require a pulmonary valve replacement at some point in their life to mitigate the detrimental effects of pulmonary valve regurgitation (PVR) on the right ventricle (RV). The evolution from the studies done by Philip Bonhoeffer to implant a pulmonary valve via transcatheter means, have provided a bedrock for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Yet, several areas of unmet need for a demographic of patients still exist. Here, we discuss the clinical unmet needs in children under 20 Kg and expand the use of hybrid and other TPVR approaches along with the current indications and contraindications for pulmonary valve replacement. The constraints and limitations from commercially available pulmonary valves will be discussed from a clinical standpoint. Finally, we explore the use of hybrid and periventricular delivery of transcatheter pulmonary valves in younger patients.
