A multicenter cross-sectional study in infants with congenital heart defects demonstrates high diagnostic yield of genetic testing but variable evaluation practices.
Article in Genetics in medicine open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Purpose: For patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), the most common birth defect, genetic evaluation is not universally accepted, and current practices are anecdotal. Here, we analyzed genetic evaluation practices across centers, determined diagnostic yield of testing, and identified phenotypic features associated with abnormal results. Methods: This is a multicenter cross-sectional study of 5 large children's hospitals, including 2899 children ≤14 months undergoing surgical repair for CHD from 2013 to 2016, followed by multivariate logistics regression analysis. Results: Genetic testing occurred in 1607 of 2899 patients (55%). Testing rates differed highly between institutions (42%-78%, Conclusion: Genetics evaluation in CHD is diagnostically important but underused and highly variable, with high diagnostic rates across patient types, including in infants with presumed isolated CHD. These findings support recommendations for comprehensive testing and standardization of care.
