Implementation of Virtual Fontan Heart Camps During a Pandemic.
Article in World journal for pediatric & congenital heart surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChildren with a Fontan operation represent a unique form of congenital heart disease (CHD) that requires multiple cardiac surgeries and procedures with an uncertain long-term outcome. Given the rarity of the types of CHD that require this procedure, many children with a Fontan do not know any others like them.
methodsWith the cancelation of medically supervised heart camps due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have organized several physician-led virtual day camps for children with a Fontan operation to connect with others in their province and across Canada. The aim of this study was to describe the implementation and evaluation of these camps via the use of an anonymous online survey immediately after the event and reminders on days 2 and 4 postevent.
resultsFifty-one children have participated in at least 1 of our camps. Registration data showed that 70% of participants did not know anyone else with a Fontan. Postcamp evaluations showed that 86% to 94% learned something new about their heart and 95% to 100% felt more connected to other children like them.
conclusionWe have demonstrated the implementation of a virtual heart camp to expand the support network for children with a Fontan. These experiences may help to promote healthy psychosocial adjustments through inclusion and relatedness.
