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

The Taussig-Bing anomaly is a rare form of double outlet right ventricle (DORV) characterized by complex physiology, often requiring multiple surgeries. This report describes the use of the VenusP-Valve System ina 36-year-old patient with Taussig-Bing anomaly, transposition of the great arteries (TGA), and prior surgical interventions including Blalock-Taussig shunt, arterial switch, and ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure. The patient presented with atrial fibrillation, baseline clinical signs of right-sided heart failure (jugular venous distension, edema, holosystolic murmur), New York Heart Association (NYHA) III symptoms, severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), residual VSD, and significant pulmonary stenosis. Right-heart catheterization revealed an extremely high baseline Qp/Qs of 10.4, derived by the Fick method with oxygen consumption estimation and mixed venous sampling; this value was interpreted as artifact-influenced, and normalized to ∼2 after medical optimization. After multidisciplinary discussion, a transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) using the VenusP-Valve System was successfully performed. At 30 days, the patient improved to NYHA II with no major complications, reduction of TR to moderate, and stable residual VSD shunt (Qp/Qs ∼2). This case highlights the feasibility and clinical utility of VenusP-Valve in managing complex congenital heart disease, particularly in enlarged, irregular, patch-augmented right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOTs) not suitable for balloon-expandable or hourglass-anchoring valves.
