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

backgroundNeonatal Ross procedure is rarely performed, especially in the setting of active infective endocarditis and prior pulmonary artery banding. CASE SUMMARY: We present a rare case of a 2.5-month-old boy with a history of complex congenital heart disease, including aortic coarctation, severe aortic stenosis, and a ventricular septal defect, who developed infective endocarditis on a dysplastic bicuspid aortic valve. DISCUSSION: This case highlights surgical decision-making and technical challenges in harvesting a pulmonary autograft after previous pulmonary artery banding in the presence of active infection. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Ross procedure can be feasible in neonates with complex anatomy and infection. Prior pulmonary artery banding increases technical complexity. Autograft resistance to reinfection supports its use in pediatric infective endocarditis.
