Risk factors of malnutrition in children with congenital heart disease: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: The associated factors of malnutrition in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) must be evaluated to provide evidence for the treatment and care of such children. Methods: Two investigators searched the PubMed database until 25 June 2023 for literature about the associated factors of malnutrition in children with CHD. A meta-analysis of associated factors of malnutrition was performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results: Thirteen studies involving 8,031 children with CHD were included. Pulmonary hypertension (OR = 3.81, 95% CI: 2.46-4.12), low birth weight (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.25-5.77) and parents' height (OR = 2.15, 95% CI: 1.89-2.92) were the associated factors of growth retardation (all Conclusions: Medical staff should fully understand the risk factors, strengthen nutritional support and enhance nursing care for children with CHD to reduce malnutrition.
