Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundCongenital heart anomalies are the most common type of organ malformation, affecting approximately 1% of all newborn infants. More than 90% of these children now survive into adulthood. They need to be cared for by specialists for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), as well as by family physicians, internists, and cardiologists who are adequately versed in the basic management of persons with this lifelong condition.

methodsThis review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective literature search, including guidelines and consensus statements from Germany and abroad.

resultsCardiovascular malformations cover a very wide spectrum, and the evidence base for the treatment of older patients with these conditions is scant. Congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and the sequelae of pulmonary arterial hypertension are the main contributors to cardiac morbidity and mortality. Preg - nancy counseling, endocarditis prophylaxis, vaccinations, and psychosocial aspects must be targeted to each individual patient. Neither the affected patients nor their family physicians are yet adequately acquainted with the recently created care structures for this patient group.

conclusionThe care of ACHD is a multidisciplinary task that requires basic care by primary care physicians as well as the involvement of specialized cardiologists in order to ensure optimal individualized treatment.
