A Population Health Approach to Address the Burden of Congenital Heart Disease in Kerala, India.
Article in Global heart, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) has emerged as a leading contributor to infant mortality in many low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). We report early results of a population health program for CHD, implemented in the state of Kerala, India. Objective: Report on early results of a population-based program implementation in a LMIC to reduce mortality from CHD. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the results of an innovative population-based program to address CHD. We devised, implemented and evaluated measures in the care continuum to address deficiencies in CHD care in Kerala, India, through structured capacity building initiatives that enabled early detection, prompt stabilization and expedited referral to a tertiary center. A comprehensive web-based application enabled real-time case registration, prioritization of treatment referrals, and tracking every child registered with CHD. Advanced pediatric heart care was delivered through a public-private partnership. Results: Early identification, referral, and treatment of infants with CHD were improved. The web-based application, ' Conclusion: We demonstrate successful implementation of a population-based and real-time approach to reduce CHD mortality. We speculate that
