The impact of congenital heart disease on treatment and survival of patients with hepatoblastoma: A single-center experience.
Article in Pediatric blood & cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatients with hepatoblastoma (HB) have a higher risk of congenital heart defects (CHD). There is limited literature on the management and outcomes of these patients. The purpose of this study was to identify demographics and outcomes of these patients in a single tertiary referral center.
methodsAn Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved retrospective chart review of patients with newly diagnosed HB from October 2004 to January 2021 was performed. CHD was defined as the presence of a septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary atresia, or bicuspid aortic valve. Chi-square and t-test were utilized for statistical analyses.
resultsOf the 151 patients diagnosed with HB during the study timeframe, 29 patients were found to have CHD. Five-year overall survival (OS) for non-CHD HB patients was 81.9% compared to 68.9% in the CHD cohort (p = .12). The 5-year OS for patients without surgically intervened CHD was 63.6% compared to 70.5% for those with surgically repaired CHD (p = .88). Pre-treatment extent of tumor IV was present more often in patients with HB and CHD who passed away (6/9, 66.7%) compared to those who survived (3/16,18.8%, p = .01).
conclusionsPatients with HB and CHD have similar survival compared to those without CHD. Our data support that patients with HB and CHD should be treated with curative intent including cardiac surgical intervention, medical oncology therapy, and oncological surgery for their HB.
