Long-term outcomes of hypoplastic left heart syndrome with analysis of the Norwood procedure in infants following bilateral pulmonary artery banding.

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.
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
Objective: To investigate the early and long-term outcomes of the deferred Norwood procedure by bilateral pulmonary artery banding (BPAB) versus the neonatal Norwood procedure. Methods: This retrospective study examined 46 patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and its variants undergoing the Norwood procedure for single ventricle physiology between 2004 and 2022 at 3 institutions. The patients were divided into 2 groups: neonatal Norwood procedure (group N; n = 23) and staged Norwood procedure in infants following BPAB (group I; n = 23). Preoperative risk factors, surgical results, survival rates, Fontan candidacy, and long-term complications were compared. Results: Early survival rates after the Norwood procedure were 91.3% (21 of 23) in both groups. Late survival rates after the Norwood procedure were similar at the 10-year follow-up (group N, 76.3%; group I, 68.7%; Conclusions: Fontan candidacy and survival rates were similar regardless of the timing of the Norwood procedure. Early performance of the Norwood procedure may lead to lower rates of late Fontan-associated events, such as PLE.
