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

In recent years, the outcomes of the Fontan procedure have been good, but Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), which causes congestive hepatopathy due to elevated central venous pressure (CVP), has become a serious problem when considering patients' long-term prognosis. A 28-year-old woman with Emanuel syndrome was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). She was diagnosed with pulmonary atresia and underwent a bidirectional pulmonary artery shunt at the age of 1 year and 10 months and the Fontan procedure at 4 years of age. Blood tests showed an increase in γ-glutamyltransferase in her early 20s and a marked increase in alfa-fetoprotein levels at age 27 years. She was diagnosed as having HCC in the S7 region by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and underwent hepatectomy. There were no serious adverse events, and the patient has survived 18 months after surgery without recurrence. In this report, the optimal time for the transition from the pediatrics department to adult healthcare units is also discussed, along with the management system for FALD in our hospital.
