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

Patients with Fontan circulation are increasingly presenting for non-cardiac surgical procedures in adulthood, often involving complex anaesthetic management due to their unique physiology. We report the case of a 39-year-old Fontan patient who underwent elective thoracoscopic epicardial pacemaker lead revision under one-lung ventilation, requiring advanced hemodynamic monitoring, inotropic support, and pulmonary vasodilators. This case highlights the significant perioperative challenges in such patients and the need for a specialised, multidisciplinary team. In addition to this case, we reviewed previously published reports on one-lung ventilation in Fontan patients to provide a broader perspective on perioperative strategies and outcomes in this high-risk population.
