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

backgroundThere is no consensus on the preferred conduit for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction for congenital cardiac disease. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of a 21-year-old woman with history of tetralogy of Fallot presenting with recurrent graft thrombosis and pulmonary emboli in the setting of RVOT reconstruction with a 20-mm expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) valved conduit (GORE PV1, W.L. Gore & Associates). A diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension was made, and the patient underwent pulmonary endarterectomy and conduit exchange with a pulmonary homograft. DISCUSSION: The novelty and clinical significance of this report lies in the confirmation of thrombosis of a large-diameter ePTFE valved pulmonary conduit (20 mm) and its implications for monitoring and need for further optimization of thromboprophylaxis strategies in this population.
