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

A right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula represents a rare cause of cyanosis in childhood. It may be diagnosed late due to the presence of minimal symptoms. We report the case of a 3-year-old child who presented with dyspnea and cyanosis. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an anomalous fistulous connection between the right pulmonary artery and a large aneurysm communicating with the roof of the left atrium. The patient underwent successful transcatheter occlusion using an atrial septal defect occluder device. The patient had an uneventful recovery on follow-up with resolution of cyanosis.
