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

backgroundAnomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the aorta, also named hemitruncus arteriosus, is a rare congenital heart disease associated with high mortality. Patients are usually operated on in the first months of life to avoid irreversible damage caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension. CASE SUMMARY: The authors present a challenging case of an athletic male patient with an anomalous left pulmonary artery originating from the descending aorta that was diagnosed when he was aged 27 years, with severe segmental pulmonary arterial hypertension in the left lung. Following multidisciplinary team meetings, conservative management was chosen. DISCUSSION: Multimodality imaging plays a key role in both diagnosing and managing this birth defect and its potential complications. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Management of this extremely rare congenital anomaly in the adult is yet to be fully understood and requires a multidisciplinary team in a tertiary center.
