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

backgroundCriss-cross heart (CCH) is a rare congenital heart malformation characterized by twisted atrioventricular connections, often associated with various other cardiac anomalies, making accurate diagnosis challenging; In this article, we present a previously unreported case of CCH with complex cardiac malformation, situs inversus totalis, and bronchial dysplasia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old girl presented with recurrent cyanosis and fatigue, and echocardiography revealed a complex congenital heart condition involving CCH, dextrocardia, severe pulmonary hypertension, ventricular septal defect (VSD), atrial septal defect (ASD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Further CT angiography unveiled bronchial dysplasia and double-outlet right ventricle (DORV).

conclusionsCCH is a rare congenital heart condition characterized by twisted atrioventricular connections, with complex associated anomalies. Diagnosis is challenging due to the variety of defects. CT angiography is crucial for comprehensive assessment and surgical planning. This case presented a unique combination of CCH with mirror dextrocardia, situs inversus totalis, and bronchial malformation, highlighting the importance of CT in guiding treatment decisions. However, postoperative follow-up is lacking, and optimal surgical strategies for such complex deformities remain to be explored.
