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

Anomalous pulmonary venous connection (APVC), including total (TAPVC) and partial (PAPVC) forms, is a congenital heart defect with abnormal pulmonary vein drainage; and while surgical repair has improved survival, its long-term impact on cardiopulmonary function remains unclear. This retrospective study evaluated exercise capacity and pulmonary function in 26 pediatric APVC patients (17 TAPVC, 9 PAPVC) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and compared them with 63 age-matched healthy controls. Patients with complex defects or significant comorbidities were excluded. Results showed significantly lower anaerobic threshold VO
