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

Pulmonary hypertension is a known complication of scimitar syndrome; however, its risk factors and outcomes are not well understood. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of pulmonary hypertension in patients with scimitar syndrome. In this retrospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with scimitar syndrome and treated at a tertiary center between June 2015 and June 2024 were reviewed. Pulmonary hypertension was defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure > 20 mmHg based on cardiac catheterization. PH developed in 77.5% of pediatric SS patients. PVR and PCWP differed significantly across hemodynamic characteristics (
