Complete transposition of the great arteries with borderline tricuspid valve: how small is too small? A case report.

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.
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: Previous studies have mostly focused on the maintenance of left ventricular function after corrective surgery for transposition of the great arteries (TGA), with limited research on the recovery of postoperative right ventricular dysfunction. Case summary: In April 2025, our hospital admitted a neonate with complete transposition of the great arteries complicated with ventricular septal defect (TGA/VSD) and hypoplastic right ventricle (RV). The arterial switch operation (ASO) was performed on the eighth day after birth, followed by delayed sternal closure. The neonate developed refractory right ventricular dysfunction and was treated with inotropic agents, diuretics, anti-inflammatory agents, peritoneal dialysis support, inhaled nitric oxide, and thoracic drainage. The patient recovered successfully, and follow-up echocardiography at 6 months postoperatively showed normalization of right ventricular function. Discussion: We conclude that for patients with TGA/VSD, preoperative evaluation should not only focus on left ventricular development but also fully emphasize the status of right ventricular development. A borderline RV is not an absolute contraindication to ASO, although it may complicate postoperative management and necessitates long-term close follow-up of right ventricular function.
