Reimplantation of Thymus at the First Superior Cavo-Pulmonary Anastomosis and Its Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 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
During bidirectional cavo-pulmonary anastomosis (bidirectional Glenn; BDG), the thymic tissue is often excised to facilitate the exposure of the superior vena cava and its junction with the innominate vein. Subsequently, it is discarded. Since the last two decades, the lead author (ST) has pursued anchoring the excised thymus in its position by suturing it to the opposite unexcised thymic lobe. At the time of completion Fontan, the authors found the excised thymic tissue to be living on electron microscopy. In this report, the authors describe one such patient. The advantages of this approach have been discussed here. The techniques of performing the BDG and the Fontan are not discussed.
