A review of isolated muscular ventricular septal defect.
Review in World journal of pediatrics : WJP, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundColor Doppler echocardiography greatly facilitates the diagnosis of isolated muscular ventricular septal defect with a small shunt. DATA SOURCES: Original research articles were collected from database, including PubMed and Google scholar. Relevant articles about muscular ventricular septal defect were included.
resultsThe frequency of isolated muscular ventricular septal defect is 5.7% in preterm infants and 1.1-5.3% in term infants. Spontaneous closure in muscular ventricular septal defect occurs with higher frequency and earlier than in perimembranous ventricular septal defect. Approximately 80-90% of isolated muscular ventricular septal defect closes spontaneously by 12 months of age. Midventricular muscular ventricular septal defect is spontaneously closed earlier in the short term, but no site difference is found in the long term. The spontaneous closure mechanism is regarded as aposition of the muscle tissue or fibrous tissue formation in the right ventricular side, but in rare cases involves aneurysm formation of the fibrous tissue. Regarding spontaneous closure of isolated muscular ventricular septal defect diagnosed for the fetus, further studies are needed. Chromosomal microarray analysis of fetuses with isolated muscular ventricular septal defect has revealed that it is not a severe risk factor of chromosomal abnormalities.
conclusionsThis paper presents a review of the history of the diagnosis and frequency of ventricular septal defect, with discussion of its natural history from the fetal period to after birth in patients with isolated muscular ventricular septal defect.
