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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a modified exhaust method in pediatric open-heart surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Method: Data from 303 cases conducted at the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guizhou Hospital, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, between October 2023 and March 2024 were analyzed. Among these cases, 202 utilized the modified exhaust method, divided into group A (101 cases with median thoracotomy) and group C (101 cases with lateral thoracotomy), while 101 cases used the traditional exhaust method in group B (median thoracotomy). Comparative analysis included general patient data, cardiopulmonary bypass duration, aortic cross-clamp time, time for exhaust and reperfusion upon opening, post-reperfusion ST segment abnormalities on electrocardiogram, intracardiac pneumogram observations via esophageal ultrasound, relevant plasma biochemical indexes on postoperative day one, postoperative drainage volume, duration of ventilator use, and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Results: There was no difference in between-group comparisons regarding age (27.98 ± 3.57 vs. 34.05 ± 3.96 months; Conclusions: The modified exhaust method demonstrates overall good immediate results in pediatric congenital heart surgery. It was superior to the traditional exhaust method in terms of reducing exhaust times and potentially minimizing the risk of local aortic injuries. Additionally, it appeared to be suitable for lateral thoracotomy surgery.
