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

BackgroundPulmonary valve-sparing repair (PVSR) of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) provides good results in selected patients. However, recurrent right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) can occur requiring surgical revision. We sought to evaluate the course of RVOTO after PVSR by serial echocardiographic (ECHO) assessment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted in patients who underwent PVSR of TOF at our institution. Demographic, anatomical, surgical and 2D-ECHO data were collected. The cohort was divided into two groups: no reintervention group (group 1) and reintervention group (group 2).ResultsNinety-one patients were included in this study; 13 patients (14%) required reintervention. Right ventricular outflow tract ECHO peak gradient was significantly higher in group 2 at intraoperative transesophageal ECHO (iTEE) (
