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

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital heart defect where both the aorta and pulmonary artery originate from the right ventricle, often accompanied by additional cardiac anomalies to mitigate circulatory imbalance, though such compensations usually fail. We report a 15-month-old infant with recurrent respiratory infections and poor weight gain, referred for computed tomography angiography. Physical examination showed a small, non-syndromic infant with pallor, tachypnea, irritability, and finger clubbing. Initial imaging revealed cardiomegaly and lung infiltrates; echocardiography and computed tomography angiography confirmed additional intracardiac defects of double superior vena cavae, a hypoplastic aortic arch, hypertrophic right ventricular wall, and a patent ductus arteriosus. Corrective surgery was delayed due to respiratory complications. This case emphasizes the critical need to consider cardiac pathology in pediatric patients with recurrent respiratory symptoms, as untreated DORV can lead to high mortality.
