Repair of tetralogy of Fallot in neonates: a single-center case series.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 optimal timing for surgical intervention in the management of tetralogy remains a subject of ongoing debate. This investigation involved a retrospective analysis of neonatal patients who had received continuous treatment for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) at our centre. The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility and necessity of treating TOF in the neonatal period. Methods: A retrospective analytical investigation was undertaken of 33 cases of neonates who underwent consecutive one-stage surgical repair for TOF at the Beijing Anzhen Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. The subjects had an average gestational age of 38.1 weeks (range, 31.3-40.0 weeks) and a median age at surgery of 14.0 days [interquartile range (IQR): 9.75-20.0 days]. Their mean weight at the time of surgery was 3.25±0.53 kg, and their mean pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO Results: The mean duration for which aortic cross-clamping was performed during the surgical procedure was 74.24 minutes, with a standard deviation of ±16.33 minutes. The average duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was 118.85±17.94 minutes. The average duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation was 110.6 hours (±89.2 hours). The patients' average postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) stay was 10 days (range, 6.75-13.25 days), and their median postoperative stay was 14 days (IQR, 11.75-15.5 days). Postoperative complications were observed in two patients (6%), who required peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion at the bedside to manage fluid imbalances. No further interventions nor mortalities occurred during the follow-up period. The median follow-up period after surgery was 201 days (range, 51-417 days). Conclusions: The curative effect of TOF repair in the neonatal period is well-documented, with its ability to prevent the effects of pulmonary artery development and collateral circulation formation. Consequently, we suggest considering TOF repair during the neonatal period.
