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

Interatrial septal aneurysm (IASA) is not uncommon in fetal and neonatal screening echocardiography. However, its persistence into childhood is rare. The presence of an IASA was associated with increased risk of arrhythmias and embolic events. Fetal tachycardia was suspected at 34 weeks of gestational age. Fetal echocardiography showed a large IASA with a normal fetal heart rate and no other congenital abnormalities. The case presented again at the age of two years with recurrent syncopal attacks, with confirmed atrioventricular (AV) nodal re-entry tachycardia correlated with the symptoms. Echocardiography showed a large type R1 IASA. The patient was referred to cardiac electrophysiology for further management. Persistence of interatrial aneurysms into childhood is rare. It can be associated with arrhythmogenic complications. A new class of classification of IASA dedicated to fetal diagnosis is suggested.
