A complex case of univentricular heart with multiple congenital malformations diagnosed in a newborn: a case report and literature review.

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
Introduction: Univentricular heart disease is a relatively rare condition that affects infants, with a prevalence ranging from 0.05 to 0.1 per 1000 live births. It is characterized by an abnormality in the structure of the heart, specifically the presence of only one main pumping chamber (ventricle) instead of the usual two. Presentation of case: In this particular case, a newborn male was diagnosed with double-inlet left ventricle (DILV), a specific form of univentricular heart disease. Following his birth, he exhibited symptoms of central cyanosis (a bluish tint to the skin due to poor oxygenation) and difficulties with breastfeeding. Clinical evaluation, along with a heart ultrasound, confirmed the need for palliative surgery. At the age of 6 months, the patient is scheduled to undergo the Glenn procedure, a surgical intervention that aims to redirect blood flow to the lungs and improve oxygenation. Clinical discussion: Given the complexity of double-inlet single ventricle anomalies, there are multiple differential diagnoses that need to be considered for accurate diagnosis, including conditions such as tricuspid atresia, large ventricular septal defect and corrected transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect. Conclusion: Early intervention in the immediate postnatal period plays a crucial role in improving survival rates and reducing long-term complications. It is, therefore, essential to continue researching and refining treatment approaches.
