Tetralogy of Fallot in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.
Review in CJC pediatric and congenital heart disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Low- and middle-incomes countries (LMICs) have limited resources for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart diseases such as tetralogy of Fallot. This is in part due to lack of infrastructures, financial means, and expertise. As a result, patients undergo surgery much later than in high-income countries. This delay in treatment results in right ventricular dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmias, and poor psychomotor development-complications that are all related to chronic hypoxia. There are limited data and a few small studies of patients treated for tetralogy of Fallot in LMICs, and, therefore, the aim of this review is to analyse and summarize the surgical outcomes of this LMIC population.
