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

backgroundReported prevalence of congenital heart diseases (CHDs) varies widely among studies worldwide. The incidence of CHD, total number of pediatric and adult grown-up congenital heart disease (GUCH), is not determined in Iran. Therefore, we have designed a system to register the information of patients with CHD for the first time in our country.

methodsCHD registry is a database in which the patients' data are collected by five pediatric cardiologists from three referral hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, and five outpatient clinics. We enrolled patients with CHD either as new cases who were referred for evaluation of potential CHD or those who were being followed within the outpatient clinics and entered their whole information in a website specifically designed for it. All the information was collected from checklist by those pediatric cardiologists.

resultsFrom April 2017 to April 2020, after developing the forms and website, the Quality Control Committee evaluated the first 558 files. 73 files (13%) needed major revisions. Among them, 34 (46%) files were omitted totally and the 39 remaining files were revised and completed. After that revision, we changed our checklist and gathered about 1600 patients accordingly.

conclusionRegistry of CHDs not only improves epidemiologic studies but also assists researchers to understand how much a disease management is useful and how to raise the quality of cares and outcomes. Moreover, this provides a better insight for policymakers to understand the extent of health-related problems as well as the issues related to the prevention and management of CHDs all around the world.
