Outcomes of surgical management of Ebstein anomaly and tricuspid valve dysplasia in critically ill neonates and infants.
Article in JTCVS open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 describe the surgical outcomes in neonates and infants who had surgery for Ebstein anomaly (EA) and tricuspid valve dysplasia (TVD). Methods: Retrospective chart review for all patients who underwent surgery for EA or TVD during the index hospitalization after birth at our institution from January 2005 to February 2023. Results: Fifteen symptomatic neonates and infants who had surgery for EA or TVD were included, 8 with EA and 7 with TVD. Eleven patients (73%) and 3 patients (20%) required preoperative inotropes and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, respectively. Nine patients (60%) had a Starnes procedure and 6 patients (40%) had tricuspid valve repair (TVr). Mortality at last follow-up was 27% overall (n = 4/15), 22% after Starnes (n = 2/9) and 33% after TVr (n = 2/6), without a significant difference despite a greater-risk profile in the Starnes group. Postoperative day 1 lactate level was associated with mortality on Cox regression (hazard ratio, 1.45; Conclusions: Mortality after surgery for EA or TVD during the index hospitalization after birth is still significant in the current era and is associated with a greater lactate level at postoperative day 1. The Starnes procedure and TVr had comparable outcomes despite a greater-risk profile in the Starnes group. An initial single-ventricle approach does not preclude conversion to biventricular or 1.5-ventricle repair.
