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

Even if the Fontan operation is the surgical treatment of choice in patients with univentricular physiology, it remains a palliative strategy. Consequently, when Fontan patients reach adulthood, the majority of them develop late clinical sequelae of a failing cavo-pulmonary circuit (eg, liver failure, protein-losing enteropathy, and arrhythmias). Although heart transplantation represents the gold standard to treat this condition, Fontan patients usually accede to this therapy late, when risk of mortality is significantly increased, and a shortage of donor hearts limits transplantation in this special population. Mechanical circulatory support is an emerging field, but it is still in the experimental stage. Current mechanical circulatory devices have been used in Fontan circulation but are associated with the need for high-risk redo surgery. Percutaneous pumps are an emerging field that is still under investigation, with multiple prototypes developed. This review aims to analyze the hemodynamic profile of the developed intravascular pumps and their application in the preclinical scenario in the Fontan circulation.
