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

Left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) is a rare malformation presenting in 0.05% of all congenital cardiac anomalies. It is associated with additional cardiac and extracardiac malformations. We report on a female neonate with prenatally diagnosed heterotaxia and dextrocardia who was born with a pulsating supraumbilical mass. Echocardiography revealed a diverticulum originating from the left ventricle, which was connected to the umbilicus. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed an LVD without evidence of a diaphragmatic hernia on the day of life 9. The child underwent laparotomy/lower sternotomy, and the diverticulum and epigastric hernia were closed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the girl was discharged on the 10th postoperative day. In a neonate with a pulsatile supraumbilical mass, the diagnosis of a congenital LVD should be taken into consideration. The treatment is straightforward and was successful in this single case.
