Global inequity in pediatric and congenital heart care-is it economics or inertia?
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2025. 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
Global inequities in pediatric and congenital heart disease care remain a significant challenge, disproportionately affecting children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This review examines the interplay between economic factors and inertia in perpetuating these inequities and causes and recommends solutions and successful examples such as strategic investments in healthcare infrastructure, workforce training, and policy reform. Economic limitations intersect with social, political, and cultural dynamics to impact access to timely diagnosis, advanced interventions, and long-term follow-up care. Addressing global inequities in pediatric and congenital heart disease care requires a multifaceted population health approach, with advocacy for policy and national planning serving as a cornerstone for meaningful change. Together, these actions pave the way for a future where every child has an equal chance to lead a healthy, fulfilling life, free from the constraints of inequitable healthcare access. Bridging these gaps is not only a moral imperative but also essential to achieving equitable health outcomes for children worldwide.
