Newborn Screening for Congenital Heart Disease: A Five-Year Study in Shanghai.
Article in International journal of neonatal screening, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to report the progress and results of the newborn screening program for congenital heart disease (CHD) in south Shanghai between 2019 and 2023, and to evaluate the accuracy of the dual-index method (pulse oximetry (POX) plus cardiac murmur auscultation) in clinical practice. Between 2019 and 2023, a total of 198,606 (99.89%) newborns were screened for CHD, of whom 3299 (1.66%) tested positive, 3043 (92.24%) underwent echocardiography for CHD diagnosis and 1109 were diagnosed with CHD in a timely manner. Among 195,307 infants with negative screening results using the dual-index method, 139 (0.07%) were later diagnosed with CHD, and none of these infants died. More than half of these false-negative infants (59.39%) were identified due to the detection of a heart murmur during routine physical examinations within six months after birth. Compared to POX testing alone, the dual-index method significantly improved the sensitivity of screening for CHD, and kept high specificity in clinical practice. This study demonstrated that newborn screening for CHD has been well conducted in Shanghai, and the dual-index method had high accuracy and reliability for neonatal CHD screening in clinical practice.
