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

backgroundIdiopathic right atrial aneurysm (IRAA) is rarely reported in pediatric literature. Clinical presentations range from incidental findings to serious complications including arrhythmias, thrombosis, and cardiac arrest. CASE SUMMARY: A 4-year-old girl with DCHS1 mutation, autism spectrum disorder, and congenital IRAA managed conservatively presented to the emergency department with 3-day history of viral symptoms. Shortly after arrival, the patient developed unstable atrial flutter requiring electric cardioversion. Later, imaging demonstrated a 1.2 × 1.2-cm right atrial thrombus in a massively dilated right atrium. The patient underwent successful surgical atrial reduction and thrombectomy. DISCUSSION: IRAA has been rarely reported in pediatric literature. Half of the reported cases were diagnosed incidentally. Our case is unique in its rapid progression to serious complications despite recently initiated aspirin therapy. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case proposes a possible association between DCHS1 variants and IRAA and highlights the importance of considering prophylactic surgical intervention in select pediatric patients to prevent serious complications.
