A Diagnostic Dilemma: Transposition of the Great Arteries.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) remains one of the most common and severe underdiagnosed congenital cardiac anomalies in the prenatal period. Unfortunately, despite advances in prenatal ultrasound screening, the detection rate of major congenital heart defects (CHDs) remains low. We present the case of a preterm male infant delivered limp with generalized cyanosis and in respiratory distress at 36 weeks gestation with postnatal echocardiography (ECHO) depicting dextro-TGA (d-TGA). Maternal prenatal targeted fetal anomaly ultrasonography at 18 weeks gestation showed abnormal right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract. Subsequent two-time repeat fetal ECHO showed ventricular septal defect. This case represents how challenging and unrecognized critical CHDs can be. Furthermore, it highlights the need for clinicians to have a high index of suspicion when newborns present with clinical manifestations of critical CHDs and manage it accordingly to avoid severe complications.
