The Association of Race and Ethnicity with Mortality in Pediatric Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: a Systematic Review.

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
contextCongenital heart disease (CHD) is a common condition with high morbidity and mortality and is subject to racial and ethnic health disparities.
objectiveTo conduct a systematic review of the literature to identify differences in mortality in pediatric patients with CHD based on race and ethnicity. DATA SOURCES: Legacy PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase (Elsevier), and Scopus (Elsevier) STUDY SELECTION: English language articles conducted in the USA focused on mortality based on race and ethnicity in pediatric patients with CHD. DATA EXTRACTION: Two independent reviewers assessed studies for inclusion and performed data extraction and quality assessment. Data extraction included mortality based on patient race and ethnicity.
resultsThere were 5094 articles identified. After de-duplication, 2971 were screened for title and abstract content, and 45 were selected for full-text assessment. Thirty studies were included for data extraction. An additional 8 articles were identified on reference review and included in data extraction for a total of 38 included studies. Eighteen of 26 studies showed increased risk of mortality in non-Hispanic Black patients. Results were heterogenous in Hispanic patients with eleven studies of 24 showing an increased risk of mortality. Results for other races demonstrated mixed outcomes. LIMITATIONS: Study cohorts and definitions of race and ethnicity were heterogenous, and there was some overlap in national datasets used.
conclusionOverall, racial and ethnic disparities existed in the mortality of pediatric patients with CHD across a variety of mortality types, CHD lesions, and pediatric age ranges. Children of races and ethnicities other than non-Hispanic White generally had increased risk of mortality, with non-Hispanic Black children most consistently having the highest risk of mortality. Further investigation is needed into the underlying mechanisms of these disparities so interventions to reduce inequities in CHD outcomes can be implemented.
