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

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) stenting is rapidly emerging as an initial palliative option for infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease and ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow. Although less invasive than surgical systemic to pulmonary shunt placement, the procedure is technically challenging with a notable learning curve. The highly variable anatomy of the PDA contributes to procedural complexity, success rates, and adverse outcomes. This technical review proposes a scheme of best practices for PDA stenting based on the authors' experience and existing literature. We review pre-, intra-, and post-catheterization care, with an in-depth discussion of procedural strategy, equipment selection, and technical pitfalls relevant to each morphologic PDA sub-type.
