1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The vast majority of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive into adulthood, but many face lifelong complications, which often result in a hospital admission. The increasing number of hospitalizations in adults with CHD (ACHD) poses a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally, especially as heart failure (HF) is becoming increasingly common in this population and is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Besides HF, other major contributors to this increase in admission volume are hospitalizations related to mild lesions, comorbidities and pregnancies. Ιn-hospital mortality ranges between 0.8 and 6.1%, while hospitalizations related to HF predict medium-term mortality in ACHD population. Understanding the predictors of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality is, therefore, important for ACHD healthcare providers, who should identify patients at risk that require escalation of treatment and/or close monitoring. This article reviews the available literature on hospitalization patterns in ACHD patients, with a focus on HF-related hospital admissions and specific diagnostic subgroups.
