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
backgroundFontan physiology, reliant on a single ventricle and a passive total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) flow, is vulnerable to inefficiency. Linking TCPC power loss to cardiac function can provide valuable insights into Fontan hemodynamics. This study quantifies direct TCPC power loss from invasive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (iCMR) data and its relationship to conduit geometry, fenestration flow, and myocardial contractility pre- and post-Fontan fenestration test occlusion (FFTO).
methodsTwenty post-Fontan patients underwent iCMR, with 9 also having a FFTO. iCMR catheter-based pressures were combined with phase-contrast CMR flow in the vena cavae and pulmonary arteries. Three-dimensional (3D) whole-heart imaging provided conduit cross-sectional areas (CSA). A patient-specific biomechanical model estimated myocardial contractility from iCMR data. In-vivo TCPC blood flow indexed power loss (iPL) was calculated at baseline in 20 patients, and post-FFTO in 9.
resultsMean (±SD) at baseline was 0.24 ± 0.15 and decreased significantly from 0.27 ± 0.14 to 0.13 ± 0.10 in 9 patients post-FFTO (p = 0.010). Fenestration flow explained 46.5% of variation in iPL at baseline. Higher iPL was associated with higher myocardial contractility (R
conclusionIncreased iPL was related to increased fenestration flow, increased contractility, and decreased conduit narrowing at baseline. Post-FFTO, increased iPL was associated with decreased contractility, suggesting that acute fenestration closure might cause preload suppression in the ventricle. This study offers a clinically relevant framework to obtain mechanistic insights into Fontan physiology and guide personalized strategies for fenestration management.
