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

This study evaluated the immediate and 1-year postoperative outcomes of 14 patients with ruptured Valsalva aneurysmal sinus (RSVA) using symmetric ventricular septal defect (VSD) occluder for transcatheter closure (TCC). The sites of rupture were from the non-coronary sinus to the right atrium (RA) in 10 cases (71.4%), the right coronary sinus (RCS) to the RA in 3 cases (21.4%) and the RCS to the right ventricle in 1 case (7.2%). The defects (5-11 mm) were closed with a symmetrical VSD device. During the follow-up (12 months), the enlarged heart of the patients had significantly shrunk and the NYHA improved after closure. In 1 case, a moderate residual shunt was present and the patient suffered from hemolysis at 2 h after the operation, and 1 patient was transferred to surgery for aortic regurgitation 1 year after the initial treatment of RSVA. In conclusion, the TCC of RSVA with the China made symmetrical VSD occluder is safe and effective.
