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 patient with tricuspid valve atresia and pulmonary artery valve stenosis underwent a total cavo-pulmonary circulation with an unfenestrated intracardiac conduit. He experienced poorly tolerated atrial tachycardia and was referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). No interatrial shunt was evident. Before the procedure, a computed tomography (CT) scan with 3D rendering was performed. At the time of the procedure, the 3D rendering was merged with an electroanatomical map (EAM) performed by CARTO3 in sinus rhythm (SR). The merge guided the identification of the exact target point for a safe transeptal puncture, without using intracardiac and/or transesophageal echocardiography. The EAM during the tachycardia showed a reentrant circuit with a critical isthmus in the lateral portion of the Fontan conduit, and RFCA was performed restoring SR.
