Comparison of Immediate Outcomes of Pulmonary Valve-Sparing and Transannular Patch Techniques for Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: This study primarily aimed to compare the mechanical ventilation durations between pulmonary valve-sparing and transannular patch repair techniques in the surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot. Secondary objectives included comparison of demographic characteristics, cardiopulmonary bypass parameters, postoperative vasoactive inotrope requirements, incidence of cardiac conduction abnormalities, echocardiographic findings, intensive care unit and hospitalisation durations, reoperations rates, morbidity and mortality between the 2 approaches. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, between January 2016 and December 2019. This study included 102 paediatric patients who underwent complete surgical correction of Tetralogy of Fallot over 3 years, either by a pulmonary valve-sparing technique (Group 1, n = 43) or by transannular patch repair (Group 2, n = 59). Data for both primary and secondary outcomes were extracted from hospital records. Results: Mechanical ventilation duration was significantly shorter in Group 1 ( Conclusion: Pulmonary valve preservation was associated with better early outcomes, including reduced mechanical ventilation duration, lower vasoactive inotrope scores, decreased postoperative arrhythmias and shorter hospital stay.
