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

Objective: Pediatric pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality for the subset of patients with recurrent or progressive disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying the development and trajectory of PVS remain unclear. This study characterizes the transcriptome of clinical and phenotypic subtypes of PVS. Methods: Bulk RNA sequencing analysis was performed on human pulmonary vein tissue samples obtained from surgical interventions for pediatric patients with PVS. Transcriptomic profiles were compared for primary versus postrepair PVS as well as aggressive versus nonaggressive clinical phenotypes. Principal component analysis was performed, the differential gene expression quantified, and pathway analysis conducted on the basis of Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Reactome. Results: When we compared aggressive (Agg) primary pulmonary vein stenosis (PPVS) versus nonaggressive (NonAgg) PPVS, differences were noted in the genes associated in extracellular matrix regulation and Conclusions: These results suggests that aggressive PPVS phenotype may be driven by an increase in
