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

Predictors of Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) are not well defined. We hypothesized that magnetic resonance elastography liver stiffness measurement (LSM) would correlate with cardiac MRI findings, and hemodynamic, clinical, radiographic, and laboratory measures of FALD and Fontan failure. Patients undergoing pre- and post- Fontan assessment with same-day MRI and cardiac catheterization were enrolled. Data was collected retrospectively. 22 Fontan (mean age 12.1 ± 7.5 years) and 17 Glenn patients (mean age 4.0 ± 0.9 years) were retrospectively enrolled. LSM was higher in Fontan vs Glenn patients (3.8 ± 0.6 kPa vs 2.2 ± 0.4 kPa; p < 0.0001), as were all fibrosis scores (FIB- 4 = 0.4
