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

Introduction: Despite fundamental improvements in surgical treatment of Congenital Heart Defects, there are still challenges related to premature failure of the material used for such corrections, thus resulting in repeated operations during a patient's life. This is particularly the case for complex defects with Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) obstruction, such as in Tetralogy of Fallot/Pulmonary Atresia, whereby the pulmonary valve reconstruction remains problematic due to short-term durability of the currently used replacement solutions. We set out to test, for the first time, the suitability of amniotic membrane derived from human placenta for use in cardiovascular replacement of pulmonary valve. Methods: The decellularized and preserved amniotic membrane, obtained through our optimised protocol, was characterised for mechanical and hydrodynamic properties Results: Both the Discussion: This study provides an
