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

backgroundThe increasing number of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), necessitates effective management methods. The Qp/Qs or flow ratio (FR) is crucial for this purpose because one of the indications for closure is a significant shunt. This study compares the utility of the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)-derived flow ratio (FR MATERIALS AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study in Bandung, Indonesia, included 36 patients with uncorrected acyanotic ACHD who underwent both RHC and TTE on the same day. FR

resultsOf the 36 patients, 80.6% were female, with a median age of 31 (18-65) years. The majority had secundum atrial septal defects (61.1%). The mean FR
