Resuscitation arterial waveform quantification and outcomes in pediatric bidirectional Glenn and Fontan patients.
Article in Pediatric research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundResuscitation with chest compressions and positive pressure ventilation in Bidirectional Glenn (BDG) or Fontan physiology may compromise passive venous return and accentuate neurologic injury. We hypothesized that arterial pressure and survival would be better in BDG than Fontan patients.
methodsSecondary analyses of the Pediatric Intensive Care Quality of CPR and Improving Outcomes from Pediatric Cardiac Arrest databases. P-values were considered significant if < 0.05.
resultsIn total, 64 patients had either BDG (42/64, 66%) or Fontan (22/64, 34%) anatomy. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 76% of BDG patients versus 59% of Fontan patients and survival with favorable neurologic outcome in 22/42 (52%) BDG versus 6/22 (27%) Fontan patients, p = 0.067. Twelve of 24 (50%) BDG and 2/7 (29%) Fontan patients who survived to discharge suffered new morbidity as defined by worsening Functional Status Score. More BDG patients achieved adequate DBP (≥25 mmHg for neonates and infants; ≥ 30 mmHg for children) than Fontan patients (21/23 (91%) vs. 5/11 (46%), p = 0.007).
conclusionsOnly 27% of Fontan patients survived to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome after CPR, likely driven by inadequate diastolic blood pressure during resuscitation. One half of the BDG patients who survived to hospital discharge had new neurologic morbidity. IMPACT STATEMENT: Hemodynamic waveforms from 2 large prospective observational studies now allow for exploration of physiology during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for unique anatomy associated with single ventricle congenital heart disease. Fewer patients with Fontan physiology (46%) achieved an adequate diastolic blood pressure (defined as ≥ 25 mmHg for neonates and infants and ≥ 30 mmHg for children) than bidirectional Glenn patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (91%, p = 0.007). Only 27% of Fontan patients survived to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Of the bidirectional Glenn patients who survived, 50% developed a new morbidity as quantified by the Functional Status Score.
