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-inlet right ventricle is an extremely rare and complex cardiac malformation characterized by the opening of both atria into the right ventricle and is usually associated with other major cardiac malformations. In this case report, we have discussed an isolated case of double-inlet right ventricle without other malformations and conducted a literature review to compare our case, which is the third in the medical literature, with previously published papers on double-inlet right ventricle. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-month-old Syrian male infant was admitted to the cardiology department due to symptoms of central cyanosis and failure to thrive. Echocardiography revealed double-inlet right ventricle with a hypoplastic left ventricle from which the hypoplastic aorta emerged, while the pulmonary trunk emerged from the dilated right ventricle. The child was sent abroad for the Norwood procedure.

conclusionAlthough double-inlet right ventricle is a very rare malformation, it can be encountered in clinical practice and should be taken into consideration by practitioners. Clinical researchers should document and publish cases of double-inlet right ventricle diagnosed to draw attention to this malformation and study it in greater depth.
