Evaluation of Left to Right Shunts by the Pediatrician: How to Follow, When to Refer for Intervention?
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Left to right shunts are the most common congenital heart defects which may cause increased pulmonary blood flow leading to dilatation of cardiac chambers, congestive heart failure, pulmonary artery hypertension and eventually Eisenmenger's syndrome. Many children are, however, referred late for correction making them either high risk for intervention or inoperable. The device closure of atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus can literally cure the patient for life, without a scar on the chest. Hence, it is important for every pediatrician to know how to follow and when to refer the patients with left to right shunts for either device closure or surgical intervention, so that the patient can lead a near normal life.
