Impact of Family Socioeconomic Status on Health-Related Quality of Life in Children With Critical Congenital Heart Disease.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 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
Background Socioeconomic status ( SES ) is associated with health-related quality of life ( HRQOL ) for children with critical congenital heart disease; however, literature from newly industrialized countries is scarce. Methods and Results This cross-sectional study included 2037 surviving patients operated on for critical congenital heart disease at a tertiary hospital in China between May 2012 and December 2015. All eligible patients were aged 2 to 12 years. HRQOL was measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 generic and 3.0 cardiac modules. Family SES was assessed by a composite of household income in the past year and occupation and education level of each parent in the family. Mean scores of major domains in HRQOL were significantly lower in the low- SES group than in the medium- and high- SES groups (total generic scores: 71.2±7.9 versus 75.0±8.0 and 76.0±7.9, respectively [ P<0.001]; psychosocial functioning: 70.8±9.0 versus 74.4±8.4 and 75.3±8.4 [ P<0.001]; physical functioning: 71.6±10.4 versus 76.0±9.7 and 77.1±9.4 [ P<0.001]; heart symptoms: 71.9±11.6 versus 75.7±11.0 and 76.8±10.3 [ P<0.001]; cognitive problems: 65.4±11.1 versus 69.4±12.1 and 74.6±13.6 [ P<0.001]). After adjustment for other clinical and demographic variables in the multivariable linear regression model, family SES significantly affected all dimensions of HRQOL except for treatment barriers, treatment anxiety, physical appearance and communication. Conclusions Family SES is an important factor associated with HRQOL in patients with critical congenital heart disease. Further targeted interventions to improve HRQOL that consider the family and environmental issues confronted by those who are economically disadvantaged might help these patients have better outcomes.
