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

Heterotaxy syndrome comprises a spectrum of laterality defects frequently associated with complex congenital heart disease and extracardiac anomalies. We report a 2-year-old male who presented with persistent cyanosis, recurrent respiratory infections, and failure to thrive. Cardiac computed tomography demonstrated ambiguous situs with dextrocardia, reversed atrial arrangement, L-looped ventricles, large atrial and ventricular septal defects, hypoplastic right ventricle, absent right ventricular outflow tract, and double-outlet left ventricle. Additional findings included polysplenia, right-sided aortic arch with mirror branching, aortopulmonary collaterals, and a left posterolateral Bochdalek hernia. This case highlights the value of comprehensive cross-sectional imaging in defining complex heterotaxy anatomy and underscores the clinical implications of associated extracardiac anomalies in surgical planning and prognosis.
