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

Fontan circulation and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) represent distinct but overlapping entities characterized by concomitant hepatic and cardiac dysfunction. Fontan patients exhibit chronically elevated central venous pressure (CVP), impaired preload, limited cardiac reserve, systolic-diastolic dysfunction, and frequent arrhythmias, while CCM arises in cirrhosis with blunted stress response, diastolic dysfunction, and electrophysiologic abnormalities despite preserved resting ejection fraction. Both share exercise intolerance and stress-induced contractile failure but differ in underlying hemodynamics: Low-output, high-CVP Fontan physiology versus hyperdynamic, low-resistance CCM. We highlight mechanistic links, including inflammation, nitric oxide, and bile acid-mediated cardiotoxicity, by which Fontan-associated cirrhosis may induce a CCM-like phenotype, with implications for surveillance and management.
