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

backgroundA vascular ring arises during the development of the fetal arches and is often associated with a double aortic arch or right-sided aorta, an aberrant left subclavian artery with a posterior esophageal component, and a left-sided ductus arteriosus. CASE SUMMARY: This is a rare vascular ring formed by a left aortic arch, aberrant right subclavian artery, and right ductus arteriosus that was diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography. The 3-vessels and trachea (3VT) view with 2-dimensional and color Doppler sweeps were helpful in defining the vascular pathology. Tracheomalacia was also noted, and genetic tests confirmed the presence of 22q11.2 deletion. DISCUSSION: The distal portions of the right sixth and right eighth dorsal arches were persistent, whereas the right fourth and distal part of the left sixth arches disappeared in the process of fetal development. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Use of the 3VT echocardiography sweep facilitates prenatal diagnosis of rare vascular rings.
