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

Prenatal diagnosis of cardiac defects can significantly aid postnatal care. We present 2 cases of a rare anomaly of the right superior vena cava draining into the left atrium, one postnatally diagnosed and one prenatally diagnosed, to highlight the differences in care and the benefits of prenatal diagnosis. The patient who received the postnatal diagnosis was born at a community hospital with hypoxemia. There was a delay in diagnosis, which resulted in escalation of critical care support including the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The prenatally diagnosed patient presented with concern of a dilated left atrium in the fetus. After the diagnosis, there was coordinated delivery with cardiology presence and immediate transfer to the cardiac care center. This patient was stabilized using minimal support, had timely postnatal imaging studies, and successful surgical repair with an uncomplicated clinical course. Prenatal diagnosis resulted in coordinated high-quality care because of a shared cognitive framework.
