Forewarned is forearmed: The critical role of prenatal diagnosis in managing high-risk neonates with transposition of great arteries-intact ventricular septum.

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.
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
Most neonates with prenatally detected d-transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS) have a relatively standard preoperative course, but some patients with restrictive foramen ovale (FO) or ductus arteriosus tend to have severe hypoxemia after birth, posing a significant risk of mortality in the first few hours after birth. Poor mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood leads to severe cyanosis and death. We present two prenatally diagnosed neonates with TGA-IVS who presented with significant desaturation, necessitating emergency balloon atrial septostomy (BAS). In both patients, the resultant mixing was inadequate; ductal stenting had to be resorted to restore oxygenation. These cases highlight the importance of prenatal identification of high-risk features, such as restrictive FO or ductal constriction, in fetuses with TGA-IVS. A small proportion of these babies who have inadequate mixing despite an anatomically adequate BAS can be further stabilized before surgery by means of ductal stenting.
