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: Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) stands out as a prevalent cyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD), characterized by an intricate reversal in the arrangement of the major arteries. In the past, several surgical procedures have been used to treat dTGA, including the atrial switch. Although the method is no longer used, survivors of the procedure still living among us. Recent advancements in cardiovascular imaging have led to the emergence of several novel echocardiographic techniques, notably three-dimensional (3D) and/or speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). The present study aimed to employ 3DSTE to determine morphologic left ventricle (mLV) strain parameters in adults with dTGA who underwent Senning or Mustard procedure at infancy. Furthermore, it was also aimed to assess whether the type of correction procedure had any impact on mLV deformation parameters. Methods: Eleven dTGA patients, with a mean age of 28.8±8.5 years (6 males, 6 Senning- and 5 Mustard-operated patients) were enrolled. They were compared to 34 healthy controls matched for age and gender (age: 35.7±12.8 years, 21 males). All subjects underwent complete two-dimensional (2D) Doppler echocardiography with 3DSTE data acquisition as per recent guidelines. Results: Comparing all dTGA patients to the control group no mean segmental or global mLV strains showed significant differences, however out of the regional strains, midventricular mLV longitudinal strain was significantly better (higher) in dTGA compared to the healthy group (-16.8%±7.4% Conclusions: Significant mLV strain abnormalities are present in dTGA late after atrial switch procedures. These differences are more pronounced in the Mustard-operated group.
