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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming cardiovascular medicine, with profound implications for congenital heart disease (CHD). Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), the most common cyanotic disease, requires lifelong surveillance and complex management because of late complications such as pulmonary regurgitation, arrhythmias, and right ventricular dysfunction. This review synthesizes current evidence on AI applications across the continuum of ToF care-from prenatal diagnosis to adulthood follow-up. We examine advances in imaging, perioperative planning, intraoperative monitoring, intensive care, and long-term surveillance, including wearable and implantable technologies. Machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and natural language processing (NLP) are revolutionizing diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification, surgical decision-making, and personalized long-term care. The future lies in the integration of multimodal data, including imaging, electronic health records (EHRs), genomic information, and continuous monitoring, to support precision medicine. Challenges remain regarding dataset limitations, interpretability, regulatory standards, and ethical concerns. Nevertheless, ongoing innovation and collaboration between clinicians, engineers, and regulators promise a new era in congenital cardiology. By embedding AI throughout the patient journey, healthcare systems may improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with ToF.
