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

objectivesTo present ductal stenting and balloon atrial septostomy as minimally invasive alternatives to initial surgical palliation in cases of tricuspid atresia with restrictive foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus. KEY STEPS: Retrograde DA access was achieved via the femoral artery. A stent was deployed in the DA. Balloon atrial septostomy was performed under echocardiographic guidance by advancing a catheter via the femoral vein through the foramen ovale. Balloon inflation created a 1 cm interatrial communication. POTENTIAL PITFALLS: Complications such as ductal spasm or stent thrombosis and balloon rupture or cardiac trauma during balloon atrial septostomy are rare and can be minimized with precise technique and imaging guidance. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Early identification of restrictive atrial communication and the determination of the effectiveness of pulmonary blood flow in tricuspid atresia are vital for preventing significant hemodynamic compromise. Ductal stenting with atrial septostomy is a viable, less invasive alternative to surgical shunt as first-stage palliation in newborns with duct-dependent tricuspid atresia.
