Managing Unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot in Pregnancy: A Rare Case Defying Standard Cardiac Guidelines.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the commonest cyanotic congenital cardiac defect. Uncorrected TOF in adults, especially during pregnancy, is uncommon and presents significant hazards to both mother and fetus. SUMMARY: We present a case of a 28-year-old lady with uncorrected cyanotic TOF, gravida 4, para 1 + 3 at 22 weeks of gestation, who presented to our multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric team. She presented with cyanosis, exertional dyspnea, and oxygen saturation in the range of 70% to 80%. Echocardiography revealed the classic features of TOF, such as a large ventricular septal defect and severe pulmonary stenosis. An emergency preterm birth was performed at 28 weeks due to maternal instability. The baby, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, was released after 14 days. DISCUSSION: Uncorrected TOF seldom allows for survival to reproductive age. Research indicates worse maternal-fetal outcomes in such cases. This instance underscores the significance of prompt diagnosis and diligent management by a multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric team for a better prognosis.
conclusionsUncorrected TOF during pregnancy is uncommon but can be effectively managed with prompt, multidisciplinary cardio-obstetric collaborative intervention.
