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

aimTo determine endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentration before and after surgical coarctectomy and evaluate its association with left ventricular geometric change.

methodsA prospective, cohort study of 24 patients aged 2 d to 10 years with coarctation of the aorta undergoing surgical repair. A sub-cohort of patients with age < 1 mo was classified as "neonates". Echocardiograms were performed just prior to surgery and in the immediate post-op period to assess left ventricle mass index and relative wall thickness (RWT). Plasma ET-1 levels were assessed at both time points. Association between ET-1 levels and ventricular remodeling was assessed.

resultsPatients < 1 year demonstrated higher pre-op ET-1 than post-op (2.8 pg/mL

conclusionET-1 concentration is significantly variable in the peri-operative period surrounding coarctectomy. Older children and infants have different responses to surgical repair suggesting different mechanisms of activation.
