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

Most individuals with ventricular septal defect survive to adulthood which allows time for other complications such as pulmonary arterial hypertension to gradually develop over a period of time. When there are other associated cardiac conditions that also contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension such as valvular heart disease, the pulmonary hypertension may be exaggerated. Because these different etiologies of the pulmonary hypertension have different mechanisms, their coexistence can complicate patient management. We present a 26-year-old man with a large ventricular septal defect and rheumatic mitral valve disease who developed severe pulmonary hypertension that became complicated by atrial fibrillation and later sudden cardiac death.
