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

backgroundA late-presenting total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is extremely rare, and surgical repair remains a significant challenge. CASES PRESENTATION: We present two cases of surgical repair for late-presenting supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary vein connection: a 14-year-old female and a 32-year-old female. Both were successfully operated on and were discharged on postoperative days 9 and 29. The second patient had a prolonged hospital stay due to complications of acute kidney injury after surgery and the need for hemodialysis. Both patients had a small left ventricle and pulmonary hypertension preoperatively. All pulmonary veins drained to a common pulmonary vein, which drained to a left-sided vertical vein, which drained into the innominate vein. Postoperative evaluation of both patients found no pulmonary vein obstruction and good biventricular contraction.

conclusionLate diagnosis may occur in TAPVC patients, but a surgical repair may still be possible.
