Hybrid treat-and-repair strategy for large patent ductus arteriosus: a proof-of-concept case report.

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
Background: In cases of atrial septal defect with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a treat-and-repair strategy that adopts pulmonary vasodilator therapy and subsequent defect closure is postulated to be effective. However, this strategy has not been applied to the large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with PAH. Case summary: A 10-year-old girl with trisomy 21 was referred to our hospital for the treatment of a large PDA with PAH. Cardiac catheterization and angiography revealed a type C tubular PDA with a minimal diameter of 8.1 mm, an increase in mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of 60 mmHg, a ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow (Qp/Qs) of 2.7, and pulmonary artery resistance (Rp) of 7.1 U/m Discussion: This is the first proof-of-concept case report to show the successful hybrid treat-and-repair strategy for large PDA, which warrants further investigation.
