Factors associated with late detection of critical congenital heart disease in newborns.
Article in Pediatrics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
objectivesCritical congenital heart disease (CCHD) was recently added to the US Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for newborns. This study assessed whether maternal/household and infant characteristics were associated with late CCHD detection.
methodsThis was a statewide, population-based, retrospective, observational study of infants with CCHD born between 1998 and 2007 identified by using the Florida Birth Defects Registry. We examined 12 CCHD conditions that are primary and secondary targets of newborn CCHD screening using pulse oximetry. We used Poisson regression models to analyze associations between selected characteristics (eg, CCHD type, birth hospital nursery level [highest level available in the hospital]) and late CCHD detection (defined as diagnosis after the birth hospitalization).
resultsOf 3603 infants with CCHD and linked hospitalizations, CCHD was not detected during the birth hospitalization for 22.9% (n = 825) of infants. The likelihood of late detection varied by CCHD condition. Infants born in a birth hospital with a level I nursery only (adjusted prevalence ratio: 1.9 [95% confidence interval: 1.6-2.2]) or level II nursery (adjusted prevalence ratio: 1.5 [95% confidence interval: 1.3-1.7]) were significantly more likely to have late-detected CCHD compared with infants born in a birth hospital with a level III (highest) nursery.
conclusionsAfter controlling for the selected characteristics, hospital nursery level seems to have an independent association with late CCHD detection. Thus, perhaps universal newborn screening for CCHD could be particularly beneficial in level I and II nurseries and may reduce differences in the frequency of late diagnosis between birth hospital facilities.
