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 the commonest cyanotic congenital heart disease encountered in paediatrics. Major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAs) often complicate TOF when surgical correction is delayed, and a transcatheter closure is commonly done prior to definitive surgery. Embolization of occluding devices is a known complication that typically occurs in the vessels or in cardiac chambers. We report a young boy who presented with 1-month dysphagia post-transcatheter closure of a large MAPCAs. Barium revealed a filling defect confirmed by endoscopy as an impacted occluding device in the oesophagus. It was surgically removed, and the boy was discharged well. This case highlights a rare but highly significant unreported complication.
