Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: the good, the bad, and the tough.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectivesWe aim to determine factors that are associated with better outcomes of CDH patients.
methodsA retrospective review was performed on all CDH patients admitted to our institution between 2003 and 2016. This study was performed at a single institution which has a fetal care center. Patients admitted with CDH with at least 1-year follow-up during the analysis were included in the study.
resultsTwenty-six (13.8%) patients had a hernia sac, 124 (59%) patients had liver herniation, and 56 (25.1%) patients had an accompanying syndrome. Overall survival to discharge was 73.1% while overall survival to date was 69.5%. The presence of a hernia sac, liver herniation, and accompanying syndromes showed as independent predictors influencing the survival, B 1.968, p = 0.04, OR 7.158, 95% CI 0.907-56.485, B - 1.178, p = 0.01, OR 3.932, 95% CI 1.798-8.602 and B - 1.032, p = 0.05, OR 2.795, 95% CI 0.976-7.764, respectively.
conclusionIn our CDH cohort, the presence of a hernia sac was proven to be associated with better outcomes, while thoracic herniation of the liver was associated with worse outcomes. The accompanying syndromes although being more difficult to manage had a little effect on the outcome of the disease itself.
