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.
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
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative balloon atrial septostomy and intraoperative parameters on neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates operated for transposition of the great arteries. Methods: Between February 2018 and March 2022, a total of 60 patients (49 male, 11 female; mean age, 23.5±8.8 days; range, 2 to 106 days) who were operated with a diagnosis of simple transposition of the great arteries and discharged uneventfully were included. Preoperative balloon atrial septostomy was performed in 33 patients (BAS+ group), while 27 patients (BAS- group) did not undergo the procedure. Finally, 13 patients from the septostomy group and 12 patients from the non-septostomy group were available for follow-up. Neurodevelopment in infants was assessed using the 3 Results: The mean cognitive, language, and motor composite scores were 85.00±11.73, 89.62±12.29, and 83.38±14.83 in the BAS+ group and 94.58±18.40, 99.83±15.71, and 90.00±18.73 in the BAS- group, respectively (p=0.131, p=0.123, and p=0.689, respectively). Ballon atrial septostomy was the only factor that caused a decrease in all composite scores according to Bayley-III scoring, although not statistically significant. There was a significant negative correlation between C-reactive protein and all composite scores. There was also a significant negative correlation between cardiopulmonary bypass time, cross-clamping time, mean plasma lactate levels (mmol/L) on postoperative Days 2-5, postoperative creatinine, and motor composite scores. There was a significant positive correlation between growth weight and head circumference and all three CSs. Conclusion: Ballon atrial septostomy may adversely affect the neurodevelopmental process in neonates. We believe that close monitoring of postoperative blood values such as lactate, C-reactive protein and creatinine, and avoiding hypoxemia and keeping them at optimal levels are crucial. Good weight gain can also contribute to the neurodevelopment of patients.
