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

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is an infrequent and complex congenital malformation, which accounts for approximately 0.5% of all congenital heart defects. This defect is characterized by both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance, with the right atrium connected to the morphological left ventricle (LV), ejecting blood into the pulmonary artery, while the left atrium is connected to the morphological right ventricle (RV), ejecting blood into the aorta. Due to this double discordance, the blood flow is physiologically normal. Most patients have coexisting cardiac abnormalities that require further treatment. Untreated natural course is often associated with progressive failure of the systemic right ventricle (RV), tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation, arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death, which occurs in approximately 50% of patients below the age of 40. Some patients do not require surgical intervention, but most undergo physiological repair leaving the right ventricle in the systemic position, anatomical surgery which restores the left ventricle as the systemic ventricle, or univentricular palliation. Various types of anatomic repair have been proposed for the correction of double discordance. They combine an atrial switch (Senning or Mustard procedure) with either an arterial switch operation (ASO) as a double-switch operation or, in the cases of relevant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and ventricular septal defect (VSD), intra-ventricular rerouting by a Rastelli procedure. More recently implemented procedures, variations of aortic root translocations such as the Nikaidoh or the half-turned truncal switch/en bloc rotation, improve left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) geometry and supposedly prevent the recurrence of LVOTO. Anatomic repair for congenitally corrected ccTGA has been shown to enable patients to survive into adulthood.
