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

backgroundFunctional single ventricle represents a complex congenital cardiac malformation where ventricular function directly impacts patients' quality of life and prognosis. Accurate assessment of ventricular function in FSV patients is crucial for treatment planning, surgical intervention, and monitoring therapeutic efficacy. MAIN TEXT: Echocardiography, as a non-invasive, readily available, and real-time cardiac imaging modality, has emerged as the preferred method for evaluating functional single ventricle ventricular function. With continuous advancement and innovation in echocardiographic technology, methods for evaluating functional single ventricle ventricular function have become increasingly diverse and refined. This review synthesizes recent research developments in echocardiographic assessment of functional single ventricle ventricular function and analyzes the advantages, limitations, and future applications of various techniques.

conclusionStrain and strain rate derived from two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging have progressively entered clinical application, demonstrating substantial potential as crucial parameters for evaluating single ventricular function. Emerging technologies, including three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging and non-invasive pressure-strain loops, show promise for contributing to multi-dimensional, integrated assessment as research continues to advance.
