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

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and surgical planning of TOF. Trans-thoracic echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are the commonly used non-invasive imaging modalities. Precise delineation of cardiac anatomy, pulmonary artery status, and associated anomalies is essential to guide the surgeon. Catheter angiography is used in specific situations for surgical planning and also to perform palliative procedures for cyanotic spells. Advances in imaging and surgical techniques have led to a better life expectancy. This has created a population of repaired TOF patients, in whom imaging plays a crucial role in both follow-up and the evaluation of complications. This article reviews the role of imaging modalities in TOF and repaired TOF, touching upon the basics of each modality, which are necessary for pre-operative diagnosis, surgical planning, and post-operative follow-up. The standard surgical strategies are also discussed, as relevant to post-operative imaging findings.
