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

Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are usually defined as structural anomalies of the heart and great arteries, present since birth, that are due to embryological maldevelopment, with overt or potential dysfunction. Nowadays, most of the patients with CHD in adulthood (age > 18 years) had been operated on with success in infancy or childhood and undergo periodical screening. Pathology and nosology of CHDs are herein treated with special attention to adulthood according to the involved cardiac structures (aorta, valves, coronary arteries, myocardium, great arteries, conduction system). Moreover, the purpose is to postulate, in the era of molecular medicine, that genetically determined defects are also congenital cardiac disorders, with or without structural abnormality, and should be defined CHDs as well since their molecular background is material and present since conception.
