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

backgroundTranscatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) offers a less invasive alternative to surgical pulmonary valve replacement in patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation after tetralogy of Fallot repair. However, a complex right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy can prevent the use of conventional TPVR devices. CASE SUMMARY: We report a patient with tetralogy of Fallot and a hypoplastic left pulmonary artery who had undergone transannular patch repair and developed severe pulmonary regurgitation. Imaging revealed an excessively dilated, aneurysmal RVOT, precluding the use of available TPVR systems. DISCUSSION: A customized self-expandable endovascular graft system was created by incorporating a tailored pulmonary valve with fenestration for the left pulmonary artery. Preprocedural planning used multimodality imaging and three-dimensional printing for simulation. This is to our knowledge the first report of a patient-specific, custom-made TPVR system successfully used in a patient with a large, complex RVOT. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Careful assessments of RVOT morphology, branch pulmonary artery anatomy, and coronary relationships are essential for planning. This approach expands treatment options for anatomies unsuitable for standard TPVR devices.
