Overweight and obesity: an emerging problem in patients with congenital heart disease.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 3 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
Due to technological and medical advances the population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is constantly growing. Worldwide, congenital heart disease (CHD) affects 1.35-1.5 million children each year and the number of ACHD meanwhile exceeds the number of CHD children. It has been found that a substantial number of ACHD present problematic health behaviors, such as physical inactivity and bad nutritional habits. Recent studies document alarming rates of overweight and obesity among CHD patients which may consequently lead to further health complications in this population. The present article focuses on the distinct psychosocial effects resulting from the diagnosis of CHD and their impact on developing disordered eating patterns and excess weight. It seeks to identify unique risk factors and relevant explanations associated with the increasing prevalence of obesity among CHD patients. This review suggests a vital need to establish clinical guidelines for nutrition and weight management in this patient population as part of a holistic treatment approach.
