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

objectiveTo compare the morphology of the pulmonary vessels in tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary atresia-ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) with (del22q) and without 22Q11 deletion (non-del22q). PATIENTS: 94 consecutive infants (54 with tetralogy of Fallot, 40 with PA-VSD) were studied using ultrasound and catheterisation. MOLECULAR INVESTIGATIONS: Identification of the 22q deletion was performed either by fluorescent in situ hybridisation or polymerisation chain reaction genotyping.

results25 patients were del22q (16/40 (40%) PA-VSD v 9/54 (17%) tetralogy of Fallot; p < 0.02). Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries was more common in patients with PA-VSD-del22q (p < 0.03). Such collaterals were identified in 13 patients: 10 del22q and three non-del22q (p < 0.001). The size of the right and left pulmonary arteries expressed as a standard deviation (SD) difference of the normal range was -4.2 (quartiles -5.3 and -2.9) for PA-VSD del22q, and -2.6 (-3.1 and -1.8) for PA-VSD non-del22q (p = 0.02). The mean (SD) difference between the measured and theoretical Nakata index was -373 (94) for PA-VSD del22q v -245 (93) in PA-VSD non-del22q (p = 0.0002). In tetralogy of Fallot patients with and without del22q, the size of the pulmonary arteries was similar (p = 0.6).

conclusionsA "specific" phenotype could be defined in patients with deletion: PA-VSD, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries with complex loop morphology, and small central pulmonary arteries. Differences in the morphology of the pulmonary vessels may indicate a different timing of the faulty developmental pathway in patients with and without 22q11 deletion.
