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

Since the first operation performed in 1968, the worldwide population of patients living with Fontan circulation is dramatically growing, with 40% reaching adulthood in the current era. Despite this remarkable improvement in survival, some patients struggle with Fontan-related complications including heart failure, arrhythmias, end-organ dysfunction, and premature death. This review aims at describing common complications of the Fontan circulation, proposing a clinical and mortality risk score to better stratify this complex population as well as exploring the current state of art in catheter interventions and transplant.
