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

The right ventricle (RV) in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) becomes the systemic ventricle pumping against systemic afterload. It also has to adapt to an initially increased volume load followed by a decrease in volume load after Fontan completion. Anatomical HLHS subtype, therapeutic strategy, tricuspid valve regurgitation, recoarctation, and genetics influence RV size and function. The resulting remodeling process can be maladaptive and lead to ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction. While systolic dysfunction is a strong predictor for mortality before Fontan, there is increasing evidence for the impact of progressive diastolic dysfunction after Fontan. This comprehensive review summarizes the (recent) empirical observations that increased understanding of RV remodeling and function in HLHS. It aims at clinicians and researchers wishing to increase their understanding of the physiology of this disease. It highlights the potential for future scientific work on the assessment and preservation of myocardial health throughout the palliation.
