Surgical Strategies for Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis:
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2025. 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
Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis, typically affecting the right pulmonary artery, is a rare condition that may lead to congestive heart failure or pulmonary hypertension in infants and early surgical intervention improves outcomes. We report 5 cases from Muscat, Oman, of unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis who underwent surgical correction between November 2019 and August 2023, at an average age of 4.4 months. Most presented with cyanosis or respiratory distress and all had pulmonary hypertension confirmed by imaging. Surgical approaches included Gore-Tex conduit placement, autologous pericardial reconstruction and patent ductus arteriosus unifocalisation. All patients successfully restored pulmonary blood flow with no perioperative mortality. The median intensive unit care stay was 13 days and the median hospital stay was 20 days. Only 1 patient required repeat surgery for graft compression. Over a 27.6-month follow-up period, 4 patients showed regression of pulmonary hypertension and 2 underwent pulmonary angioplasty, reinforcing the benefits of timely intervention.
