Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents with Simple Congenital Heart Defects before and after Transcatheter Intervention Therapy: A Single-Center Study.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo explore the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents with simple congenital heart defects before and after the transcatheter intervention.
methodsThe Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 scale was used to assess the quality of life of 78 children and adolescents before and after the transcatheter intervention and to evaluate the parents' perception of their children's quality of life.
resultsIn all, 76 patients were completed the study. The results showed that the scores of the four dimensions and the total score for the quality of life of the patients significantly improved 1 month after the intervention. At 6 months after treatment, the scores in all dimensions continued to improve. From the parents' perspective, the scores of the patients in all dimensions improved significantly at 1 month and 6 months after treatment. In terms of the quality of life assessment, the self-assessment results of the patients were more positive than those of their parents.
conclusionsThe results showed that the quality of life of children and adolescents with simple congenital heart defects can be positively affected by the transcatheter intervention. Moreover, this improvement is not transient and seems to increase over time.
