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

backgroundAnomalous drainage of the right superior vena cava to the left atrium is a rare form of congenital heart disease. This typically results in mild cyanosis when present as an isolated defect. CASE SUMMARY: An asymptomatic term female demonstrated an SpO DISCUSSION: This case highlights a rare association of a vein of Galen malformation with abnormal drainage of the right superior vena cava. It underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for noncardiac anomalies when taking care of a patient with congenital heart disease. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Multimodality imaging is essential to detecting associated intracardiac and often extracardiac anomalies.
