Descriptive Analysis of Rheumatic Heart Disease Related Complications in Pediatric Patients at Tertiary Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article in Pediatric health, medicine and therapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease continues to be a public health problem worldwide. In developing countries such as Ethiopia where rheumatic heart disease is endemic, most of the patients present with complaints related to complications including heart failure, arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, systemic embolic events and infective endocarditis. Objective: To identify the types and magnitude of complications in pediatric patients with rheumatic heart disease. Methodology: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted at Saint Paul Hospital Millennium Medical College, pediatric and child health department. All pediatric cardiac patients with rheumatic heart disease seen from January 1, 2018 to December 30, 2021 were included in the study. Conclusion: The majority of patients presented to our health facility with complications which implies the need for action at the community level to detect the disease at early stage. Recommendations: We recommend a similar large-scale study to be conducted at the national level and introduce a national RHD registry to better understand the magnitude of the problem, based on which necessary action will be undertaken. There is also a need to assess the proper implementation of screening and preventive RHD programmes.
