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

A 5-year-old girl was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect and anomalous drainage of the right lower pulmonary vein into the right atrium at the age of 2 years. On reevaluation of computed tomography findings, anomalous drainage of the inferior vena cava to the left atrium was suspected. For accurate diagnosis, we created a cardiac 3-dimensional computer graphics model based on computed tomography imaging, which clearly demonstrated an anomalous connection of the inferior vena cava to the left atrium combined with an atrial septal defect. The 3-dimensional reconstruction was useful for the accurate diagnosis of the relatively uncommon anatomy.
