Early cardiac rehabilitation in pediatric fenestrated Fontan completion: A case report despite postoperative complication.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Early rehabilitation after Fontan surgery in children is poorly described, especially in complicated postoperative courses. We report the clinical evolution and rehabilitation of an 8-year-old girl with double-inlet left ventricle and patent ductus arteriosus who underwent fenestrated Fontan completion. The postoperative period was complicated by bilateral pleural effusions, pulmonary hypertension, hematemesis, psychomotor alteration, and mechanical ventilation with inhaled nitric oxide. A structured bedside rehabilitation program was started early and adjusted according to clinical stability. The program included respiratory exercises, inspiratory muscle training, resistance exercises, cycle ergometry, and gait training. We observed progressive improvement in mobility, respiratory autonomy, and functional capacity. She was discharged from the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit on postoperative day 23, having demonstrated functional recovery. This was evidenced by a reduction in the Functional Status Scale score from 14 to 9. Early individualized rehabilitation after Fontan surgery was feasible and associated with meaningful functional improvement.
