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

Patients with Fontan circulation face progressive multisystem dysfunction driven by venous hypertension, lymphatic failure, and metabolic derangements. This state-of-the-art review synthesizes evidence across hemodynamic, lymphatic, pulmonary vascular, and metabolic domains to outline emerging therapies and a pragmatic care framework. We summarize data on exercise rehabilitation; pulmonary vasodilators; lymphatic imaging-guided interventions; metabolic modulation including bile acid sequestration and SGLT2 inhibition; arrhythmia prevention; mechanical circulatory support; and transplantation, including combined heart-liver strategies. Recognizing limitations of conventional randomized trials in this heterogeneous, small population, we propose adaptive, registry-embedded, and platform designs with harmonized phenotypes and core outcomes. This review aims to bridge mechanistic insight and clinical application, offering clinicians a concise roadmap and researchers a set of testable hypotheses to improve survival, function, and quality of life.
