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

The association of a major aortopulmonary collateral artery (MAPCA) with simple transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is uncommon. Such high-flow lesions in the postoperative period following arterial switch operation (ASO) may lead to pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hemorrhage, heart failure (HF), failure to thrive and prolonged mechanical ventilation. We report a neonate who developed pulmonary overcirculation and HF in the early postoperative period due to a hemodynamically significant MAPCA. Although the association of MAPCA with simple TGA is infrequent, such lesions should be considered in cases of unexplained cardiovascular compromise following ASO. Following transcatheter occlusion of the MAPCA with a vascular coil, rapid hemodynamic stabilization and subsequent extubation of the patient were achieved.
