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

Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary stenosis has a diverse clinical spectrum with the degree of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) and size of the branch pulmonary arteries driving clinical management. Optimal surgical management involves consideration of patient clinical status and degree and location (subvalvar, valvar, and supravalvar) of RVOTO. Timing of repair requires multidisciplinary decision-making and complete surgical repair with relief of RVOTO by either transannular patch or valve sparing repair techniques. The central goals of contemporary surgical management of tetralogy of Fallot incorporate maximizing survival, minimizing reintervention, and preserving right ventricular function across the lifespan.
