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

This retrospective study evaluated the clinical utility of Virtual Reality (VR) in visualizing extracardiac CHD (eCHD) abnormalities involving great vessels, pericardium, or structures outside the heart in nine pediatric patients. Anonymized computed tomography angiography (CTA) DICOM images were processed using Elucis (Version 1.10 elucis next) software to generate interactive 3D models via segmentation. VR models were reviewed for a variety of cases: vascular rings (two with right aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery, and diverticulum of Kommerell; two with double aortic arch), pericardial teratomas (
