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

Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is characterized by an increased systolic pressure gradient between the right ventricle (RV) and the pulmonary artery. This rare condition can be diagnosed via echocardiography and may arise from various causes, including cardiac masses, pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect, tricuspid valve thrombus, graft or wire calcification, or a cardiac tumor. We present the case of a 73-year-old male who was hospitalized after a syncope episode. Telemetry detected ventricular arrhythmia. Imaging identified a mass compressing the RV, causing RVOTO. A biopsy of the mass confirmed it as squamous cell carcinoma, which likely originated from the lung as a distant metastasis.
