Clinical parameters to predict adverse outcomes in patients with shunt-dependent physiology with a Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In patients with shunt-dependent physiology, early risk factor identification can facilitate the prevention of adverse outcomes. This study aims to determine a scoring system to estimate the risk for adverse outcomes after Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt placement. Of the 39 neonates with Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt placement, 10 experienced the composite outcome. The resulting risk score from clinical and hemodynamic variables attributed 1 point for each of the following: central venous pressure >7.8, serum lactate >1.8 mmol/L, renal oxygen extraction ratio >32, and vasoactive-inotrope score >8.7. A score of 0 was associated with a 0% risk of the composite outcome, a score of 1 or 2 with a 15% risk, and a score of 3 or 4 with a 60% risk. A combination of increased central venous pressure, increased serum lactate, increased renal oxygen extraction ratio, and increased vasoactive-inotrope score are highly accurately associated with the risk of cardiopulmonary arrest, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or inpatient mortality after a Blalock-Taussig-Thomas shunt in patients with shunt-dependent physiology.
