Cyanotic congenital heart diseases among Nigerian children.

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
backgroundThere are only few reports on cyanotic congenital heart diseases (CCHD) among Nigerian and African Children. The current report aim to provide the most recent hospital based data on the distribution of CCHD in children less than 14 years of age, the demographic characteristics and risk factors identified.
methodsProspective and cross-sectional involving consecutive cases of CCHD diagnosed with echocardiography at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital between January 2007 and June 2016. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Level of significance set at P<0.05.
resultsThere were 352 subjects with CCHD with a male to female ratio of 1.34:1. The children were age 2 days to 14 years with a mean ± SD of 38.62±44.74 months and median of 21 months. The most common type of CCHD (both isolated and multiple CCHD) was tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) followed double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA). The most common mode of presentation was cyanosis.
conclusionsTOF was found in almost half of the subjects. Cases of DORV which have been rarely reported were more than those with TGA. Most were diagnosed late. Cyanosis was the most common mode of presentation. Clinical features are protean; thus a high index of suspicion is required to make an early diagnosis.
