Congenital heart disease in school-aged children: Cognition, education, and participation in leisure activities.

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
backgroundChildren with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk for neurodevelopmental deficits. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cognitive deficits on educational outcome and participation in leisure activities.
methodsA prospective cohort of 134 children with CHD who underwent cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB) was examined at 10 years of age. IQ was assessed with the WISC-IV and executive functions with the BRIEF (parent- and teacher-report). Parents reported on type and level of education and educational support, and leisure activity participation. Ordinal regression analyses assessed the association between cognitive deficits and educational outcome and participation.
resultsTotal IQ (P = 0.023), working memory (P < 0.001), processing speed (P = 0.008), and teacher-reported metacognition (P = 0.022) were lower than norms. Regular school was attended by 82.4% of children with CHD compared to 97% of the general Swiss population (P < 0.001). Seventy-five percent of children participated in leisure activities. Lower total IQ and teacher-rated global executive functions were associated with more educational support and lower IQ was associated with less participation.
conclusionAs school-aged children with CHD experience cognitive deficits, follow-up is required to provide optimal support with regard to educational outcome and participation in leisure activities. IMPACT: Contemporary cohorts of children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery remain at increased risk for cognitive deficits. Cognitive deficits affect educational outcome and leisure activities. These findings underline the importance of early detection of cognitive deficits and recommend support with respect to cognitive functioning.
