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

Ascites is a condition typically attributed to liver disease but can be cardiac in aetiology as well. We report of an atypical case of pulmonary homograft failure status-post the Ross-Yacoub procedure as an underlying cause of anasarca. A man in his mid-30s with a history of congenital heart disease presented with abdominal distension and exercise intolerance. His prior history was relevant for congenital bicuspid aortic valve with critical aortic stenosis. Abdomen and pelvis CT revealed a grossly dilated inferior vena cava while transthoracic echocardiogram showed severe homograft pulmonary stenosis and regurgitation. Further investigation with cardiac MRI demonstrated severe pulmonary valve stenosis and regurgitation with significant tricuspid regurgitation and right ventricular dilatation. The transcatheter stent in the right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduit followed by transcatheter valve replacement, which resulted in full resolution of his presenting symptoms.
