Relationships Among Structural Neuroimaging and Neurocognitive Outcomes in Adolescents and Young Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Neuropsychology review, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of major congenital anomalies in the world. Disruptions to brain development in this population may impact cognitive outcomes. As individuals with CHD age, understanding of long-term neurocognitive and brain outcomes is essential. Synthesis of the current literature of brain-behavior relationships in adolescents and young adults with CHD is needed to understand long-term outcomes and identify literature gaps. This systematic review summarizes and integrates the current literature on the relationship between structural neuroimaging and neurocognitive outcomes in adolescents and young adults with CHD. Included papers were published through August 2, 2021. Searches were conducted on Pubmed and APA PsycInfo. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they evaluated adolescents or young adults (ages 10-35) with CHD, and without genetic comorbidity. Studies explored relationships among structural neuroimaging and neurocognitive outcomes, were in English, and were an empirical research study. A total of 22 papers were included in the current review. Data from each study was extracted and included in a table for comparison along with a systematic assessment of study quality. Results suggest worse brain outcomes (i.e., brain abnormality, reduced volume, lower fractional anisotropy, and brain topology) are related to poorer performance in neuropsychological domains of intelligence, memory, and executive functioning. Consistently, poorer memory performance was related to lower hippocampal and temporal region volumes. Statistically significant brain-behavior relationships in adolescents and young adults with CHD are generally observed across studies but there is a lack of consistency in investigated neuropsychological constructs and brain regions to be able to make specific conclusions. Further research with adult samples of CHD is needed to better understand the long-term impacts of early neurological insult.
