End-to-End Resection for Neonatal Aortic Coarctation with Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Large Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report in a 23-Day-Old Infant.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) may occur alone or in association with other congenital heart defects, including ventricular septal defect (VSD). The coexistence of CoA with a large VSD and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in neonates is uncommon and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the case of a 23-day-old female infant who presented with acute respiratory distress and was found to have CoA, a large membranous VSD, severe pulmonary hypertension, and markedly decreased LVEF. The patient underwent urgent surgical repair consisting of end-to-end CoA resection and pulmonary artery banding. Postoperatively, she demonstrated rapid hemodynamic improvement and recovery of ventricular function. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and timely surgical intervention in neonates presenting with complex CoA physiology and severe ventricular dysfunction.
