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

Subaortic stenosis (SAS) is a rare congenital heart defect (CHD), accounting for 1%-2% of all CHD and the second most common type of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. SAS ranges from localized obstructive membranes to complex tunnel narrowing and often coexists with other CHD like ventricular septal defect, interrupted aortic arch, and aortic coarctation. Despite generally successful surgeries, SAS recurs in 5%-30% of patients, necessitating reoperation. Recurrence factors include younger age at initial surgery, higher preoperative LVOT gradients, and complex anatomical presentations. This report discusses an 11-year-old girl with recurrent SAS who underwent a modified Konno operation. It emphasizes the need for meticulous surgical technique and vigilant postoperative follow-up to manage SAS and reduce recurrence risk effectively. The case highlights the challenges of this CHD and underscores the importance of personalized, comprehensive care strategies.
