Morphological analysis of ventricular septal defect by echocardiography for prediction of aortic regurgitation in pediatric population.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ventricular septal defects (VSD) are the most common congenital heart diseases in children. Among them, perimembranous VSD (pm-VSD) have a higher risk of complications, including aortic valve prolapse and aortic regurgitation (AR). The aim of our study was to assess echocardiographic criteria associated with AR during follow-up of pm-VSD. Forty children with restrictive pm-VSD, followed-up in our unit and who underwent a workable echocardiographic evaluation between 2015 and 2019 were included and retrospectively analyzed. The propensity score was used to match 15 patients with AR to 15 patients without AR. Median age was 2.2 year [1.4-5.7]. Median weight was 14 kg [9.9-20.3]. Aortic annulus z-score, Valsalva sinus z-score, sinotubular junction z-score, valve prolapse and commissure commitment were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.047, p = 0.001, p = 0.010, p = 0.007, p < 0.001 respectively). Aortic root dilatation, aortic valve prolapse and commissure commitment to a perimembranous VSD are associated to aortic regurgitation.
