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

Objective: To evaluate the progression of systemic atrioventricular valve regurgitation (sAVVR) after the insertion of a systemic-to-pulmonary artery (SP) shunt. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study (2009-2024) enrolled patients undergoing primary SP shunt and divided them into biventricular (BiV) and univentricular (UniV) groups. The primary outcome was the change in sAVVR grade between preoperative and second-stage repair. Secondary outcomes included changes in systemic atrioventricular valve annulus diameter (sAVVD), systemic ventricular diastolic diameter (sVDd), and bilateral pulmonary artery (PA) sizes. Subgroup analyses were performed for UniV by the presence of common atrioventricular valve and ventricle morphology. Results: Eighty-six patients in the BiV group and 105 patients in the UniV were included. Progression of sAVVR in both cohorts was observed ( Conclusions: SP was associated with sAVVR progression in both BiV and UniV; however, clinically significant sAVVR was uncommon in BiV. Heterotaxy independently predicted sAVVR progression, likely due to greater AV valve and ventricular dilatation.
