1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Although more children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are reaching adulthood, they generally have some impairment compared to their healthy peers. Few studies have investigated the effect of exercise training on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and/or physical activity in children with CHD. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effect of exercise training on HRQOL and/or physical activity and the types of training used in general. Methods: We searched relevant articles published from 2000 to 2021 in English and included intervention studies for children with CHD younger than 20 years who underwent exercise training. Afterwards, we excluded the studies not using HRQOL or physical activity as outcome measures, classified the extracted information according to outcome measures and types of interventions, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Results: Finally, 10 articles were selected, and HRQOL in 3 articles and physical activity in 3 articles showed improvement after exercise training. However, 4 articles did not show improvement in these outcome measures, and 9 of the articles had a high risk of bias in blinding. Sport-based or play-based interventions were used in 5 articles, and prescribed or structured ones were used in 5 articles. Conclusion: Although exercise training for children with CHD may improve their HRQOL and/or physical activity, more studies are needed to assess the effect statistically. In children with CHD, sport-based or play-based interventions could be used as well as prescribed or structured interventions.
