Pulmonary Regurgitation after Tetralogy of Fallot Repair: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge.
Review in Journal of cardiovascular echography. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPulmonary regurgitation is the key hemodynamically significant lesion in repaired tetralogy of Fallot contributing to progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation and biventricular dysfunction. The timing for pulmonary valve replacement remains a controversial topic, and the decision to intervene depends on assessment of RV size and RV function.
objectivesThis review aims to discuss the echocardiographic techniques that can be used to assess patients with pulmonary regurgitation after the repair of tetralogy of Fallot defect. While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the clinical reference method, there is an important role of echocardiography in identifying patients with significant pulmonary regurgitation and assessing the RV size and function. The different echocardiographic techniques that can be used in this context are discussed. Newer techniques for assessing RV size and function include three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography, tissue Doppler and strain imaging. 3D RV volumetric reconstruction based on two-dimensional imaging is a promising new technique that could potentially replace CMR for RV volumetric assessment.
conclusionsDevelopments in echocardiographic techniques provide new insights into the impact of pulmonary regurgitation on RV structure and function. Echocardiography and CMR are complementary modalities and further research is required to define the optimal use of both techniques for this indication.
