A Comparison of Treatment Options for Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction.

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
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction is a hallmark of tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and related anatomies. Surgical strategies include valve-sparing techniques or transannular patch (TAP) enlargements, optionally with monocusp patch plasty to restore valve competence. This study compares short- and medium-term outcomes of these strategies based on institutional data.A retrospective analysis was conducted on 83 ToF patients who underwent surgery between 2007 and 2021. Median age and weight at surgery were 164 days and 6.0 kg, respectively. Patients were grouped by surgical approach: valve-sparing (commissurotomy/delamination,
