Quantification of Initial Right Ventricular Dimensions by Computed Tomography in Infants with Congenital Heart Disease and a Hypoplastic Right Ventricle.
Article in Korean journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 demonstrate the feasibility of using cardiothoracic CT for quantification of the initial right ventricle (RV) dimensions in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and a hypoplastic RV and to compare these measurements with those obtained in a control group with CHD without a hypoplastic RV. MATERIALS AND
methodsInitial RV dimensions, including RV volumes, RV/left ventricle (LV) volume ratios, atrioventricular valve annulus diameter ratios, and RV/LV length ratios based on CT data, were collected from 57 infants with CHD and a hypoplastic RV (hypoplastic RV group; age range, 1 day to 6 months) and 33 infants with tetralogy of Fallot (control group; age range, 1 day to 6 months) and compared between the 2 groups. The type of final surgery was also evaluated in the hypoplastic RV group over a follow-up period of 3-8 years.
resultsThe RV and LV volumes and lengths were successfully quantified in all 90 patients. The tricuspid valve annulus diameter could not be measured in cases showing muscular tricuspid atresia and double-inlet LV. The initial RV dimensions quantified by CT were significantly lower for the hypoplastic RV group than for the control group (
conclusionInitial RV dimensions in infants with CHD and a hypoplastic RV can be quantified by CT and are substantially smaller than those in infants with tetralogy of Fallot.
