Prevalence of Feeding and Swallowing Disorders in Congenital Heart Disease: A Scoping Review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Feeding and swallowing difficulties are commonly reported as comorbidities in infants and children with congenital heart disease. These difficulties have negative health consequences for the child and impact the quality of life of both the child and caregivers. This scoping review presents an integrated summary of the published literature on the prevalence of feeding and swallowing difficulties in congenital heart disease. Fifteen peer-reviewed articles, written in English and published in the last 25 years, were included in the review, following a search of relevant databases. The studies reported on a total of 1,107 participants across the articles ranging in age from premature infants to children aged 17 years. An overall pooled prevalence of 42.9% feeding and swallowing difficulties was reported, with a prevalence of 32.9% reporting aspiration. A wide prevalence range of feeding and swallowing difficulties was reported across the articles and factors that contributed to this included the ages of participants, and the definition and assessment of feeding and swallowing difficulties used in the studies. The review confirms that feeding and swallowing difficulties are common in infants and children with congenital heart defects, and that assessment and management of these difficulties should be considered part of the standard of care.
