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

Background: The optimal autologous patch material for neonatal and infant aortic arch reconstruction remains debated. We compared the short- and mid-term clinical and morphological outcomes of autologous pericardial patches (PP) vs. pulmonary artery patches (PAP). Methods: This retrospective, two-center study included 143 patients (≤1 year) undergoing biventricular arch reconstruction for coarctation with arch hypoplasia or interrupted aortic arch (2010-2022). Patients received either PP ( Results: Cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times were significantly longer with PAP ( Conclusions: Autologous PP and PAP provide comparable clinical and morphological outcomes. Although PAP yields a larger initial arch diameter, longitudinal arch remodeling may be significantly influenced by the native aortic wall. Achieving optimal initial geometric relief is paramount over patch selection to prevent late recoarctation.
