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

backgroundA sinus venosus defect is the least common form of atrial septal defect (ASD). Both sinus venosus ASD and right ventricular (RV) infarction are characterized by RV dysfunction, right heart failure, and arrhythmias. CASE SUMMARY: A young man with acute occlusion of a small right coronary artery, RV infarction, and cardiogenic shock was suspected of having an underlying ASD because of disproportionate RV and right atrial enlargement, hypoxemia, and prolonged hypotension. ASD identification allowed corrective surgery for ASD as well as coronary artery bypass surgery after his infarction. DISCUSSION: Underlying congenital heart disease should be suspected in the setting of disproportionate right-sided chamber enlargement and hypoxemia in acute coronary syndromes. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: This case demonstrates the vulnerability of a chronic volume-overloaded RV to acute myocardial injury and the importance of suspecting underlying congenital heart disease in the presence of disproportionate right atrial enlargement.
