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

We present a case of pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and suspected right ventricle-dependent coronary circulation in a full-term neonate, highlighting the diagnostic contribution of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating a rare constellation of cardiac and airway anomalies. CT imaging demonstrated markedly dilated coronary arteries, right ventricle hypertrophy and hypoplasia, a tortuous patent ductus arteriosus causing airway compression, and complete pulmonary atresia. This complex anatomy significantly influenced the surgical decision-making process. The case illustrates CT's role in delineating both intracardiac and extracardiac anatomy relevant to perioperative planning.
