Shortness of breath on a mustard patient: multidisciplinary approach improves outcomes.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
backgroundDextro-transposition of the great arteries post-atrial switch patients may experience complications like baffle stenosis. While percutaneous interventions are the standard treatment, severe calcification can require uncommon alternatives such as surgical redo procedures. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 27-year-old female with a history of dextro-transposition of the great arteries corrected with an atrial switch at 11 months old who presented with shortness of breath. Imaging revealed severe superior baffle obstruction. Due to extensive baffle calcification, surgical reoperation with total baffle replacement was performed. The patient recovered well, with sustained symptomatic relief and normal biventricular function at follow-up.
conclusionsThis case underscores the importance of multimodal imaging for diagnosing complex baffle complications and the critical role of multidisciplinary teams in planning tailored interventions. Surgical redo remains viable in cases where percutaneous approaches are contraindicated, ensuring favorable outcomes in challenging scenarios.
