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

objectivesTo evaluate the outcomes of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) awaiting surgery admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with acute illness.

methodsIn this retrospective study from a single center, the outcomes of children up to 18 y of age with unoperated CHD admitted to PICU with acute illness and factors affecting the outcomes, were evaluated.

resultsFifty-eight (41 boys) children were included. Median age was 3.2 (1.5, 6) mo. Thirty-six (62%) children had acyanotic CHD (ACHD), and 22 (38%) had cyanotic CHD (CCHD). Most common ACHD was ventricular septal defect (n = 14; 38.8%) and CCHD was double-outlet right ventricle (n = 6; 27.2%). Twenty-four (41%) children underwent surgery - 10 (41.6%) palliative procedure and 14 (58.3%) corrective procedure. Hospital mortality was 50%. Of the operated children, 37.5% died and of the nonoperated children, 58.8% died. Type of the heart disease and surgical intervention was not associated with mortality (p = 0.27 and 0.11). Requirement of vasoactive agents was associated with increased mortality (p = 0.02). In children with ACHD, factors associated with mortality were lower score for weight for age (p = 0.03) and weight for length (p = 0.04), lower admission pH (p = 0.02), hemodynamic instability at admission (p = 0.002), and requirement of vasoactive agents (p = 0.04).

conclusionChildren with unoperated CHD with acute illness have high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and surgical interventions in children with CHD are warranted.
