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

Background and aims: The objective of this study was to assess the associations of birth weight with cardiac structure and function in adults with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) who underwent the arterial switch operation (ASO). Methods and results: Thirty-nine ASO patients (age 24.4 ± 3.3 years) were included during routine clinical follow-up from July 2019 to December 2021. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at rest and during exercise. Early-life characteristics, including birth weight, were extracted from electronic medical health records. Linear regression analysis showed that lower birth weight was associated with smaller left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume index (LV: -14.5 mL/m Conclusions: Birth weight may be a novel risk factor for adverse cardiac remodeling in adult ASO patients. Further research is needed to delineate the mechanisms underlying the associations between birth weight and cardiac remodeling ASO patients as well as the broader adult CHD population.
