Results of Aortic Coarctation Repair in Low- and Normal Birth-Weight Neonates: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionSurgical treatment of aortic coarctation in low-birth-weight (LBW) neonates is associated with risks of higher hospital mortality rates and recoarctation development in the long-term. The goal of our study was to compare the results of surgical treatment of aortic coarctation in LBW neonates and normal-weight patients, to identify predictors of recoarctation in the long-term among LBW patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study was performed to analyse the patients who had undergone resection of isolated aortic coarctation between 2005 and 2022. Overall analysis included 521 patients under the age of 30 days, 89 LBW patients and 432 patients with normal body weight. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a ratio of 1:1 for the statistical adjustment of original patients' data in both groups.
resultsAll patients underwent standard resection of aortic coarctation with extended end-to-end anastomosis. Hospital mortality among LBW patients was 8% and in patients with normal weight the mortality amounted to 1% (
conclusionsHospital mortality was higher among LBW patients (
