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

backgroundDouble outlet right ventricle with remote interventricular communication presents significant surgical challenges. Traditional imaging often fails to provide the detailed, three-dimensional anatomical insights required for complex cases. Advancements in three-dimensional (3D) printing offer a valuable tool for preoperative planning and decision-making. CASES: In the first case, a 5-year-old with double outlet right ventricle and remote interventricular communication underwent a Glenn procedure with anticipated univentricular repair. 3D printing revealed the potential for enlarging the communication, leading to a one-and-a-half ventricle repair. The second case involved a 2-day-old infant with double outlet right ventricle, aortic arch interruption, and remote communication. At one year, 3D modelling enabled a successful left ventricle-to-aorta baffle.

conclusionThese cases underscore 3D printing's role in improving precision, reducing complications, and potentially lowering costs in managing complex congenital heart disease.
