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

Background: Transcatheter closure is now the preferred treatment for congenital heart disease complicated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (CHD-PAH), but its long-term effects are not well understood. We aimed to assess the safety, effectiveness, and outcome of this procedure in children with CHD-PAH. Methods: We included 210 children with CHD-PAH at our hospital from 2012 to 2021 and collected their general, laboratory, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic data for analysis. A logistic regression analysis identified risk factors for persistent postclosure PAH (PP-PAH). Results: Among the 210 patients, 84.29% had mild PAH, 8.57% had moderate PAH, and 7.14% had severe PAH. The device was successfully implanted in 98.10% of patients. Early adverse events occurred in 12.14% ( Conclusion: Transcatheter closure is effective and safe for children with correctable CHD-PAH. Preoperative pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and right ventricular diameter are risk factors for PP-PAH.
