Parents' understanding and attitudes toward the use of the WeChat platform for postoperative follow-up management of children with congenital heart disease.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate parents' understanding and attitudes toward using the WeChat platform for postoperative follow-up management of children with congenital heart disease (CHD).
methodsA total of 196 children with CHD were followed up using the WeChat platform. A self-designed questionnaire was administered to their parents at discharge.
resultsOnly 188 parents completed the questionnaire. One hundred nineteen parents (63.3%) confirmed that they heard about using the WeChat platform for postoperative follow-up, and 104 (87.4%) of them expressed that they were willing to accept the WeChat platform for their follow-up. A total of 42 parents (35.3%) were willing to undergo a follow-up of 1 to 3 months, and 32 (26.8%) were willing to undergo a long-term follow-up. Eighty parents (67.2%) had a positive attitude toward the effect of the WeChat platform on follow-up. Parents in rural areas and those educated at the middle school level or below were more willing to engage with the WeChat platform for postoperative follow-up management (P < 0.05).
conclusionsAlthough the WeChat platform is an essential tool for daily communication, its application in postoperative follow-up management is still under study. Most parents who participated in the follow-up study had a positive attitude toward the WeChat platform, especially those in rural areas and with lower education levels.
