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

The patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) refers to the persistence of a connection between the descending aorta distal to the left subclavian artery and the pulmonary trunk beyond fetal life. Adult congenital heart disease is a rare condition, with asymptomatic cases being particularly uncommon. The following report presents the case of a young adult male, aged 23, who was discovered to possess a patent ductus arteriosus in an incidental manner. The patient presented with an acute chest complaint and was found to be asymptomatic upon examination at the hospital. Based on the preliminary medical information provided, a tentative diagnosis of a ventricular septal defect was established. However, a comprehensive echocardiographic examination revealed the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).
