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

Improved medical treatments have extended survival and life expectancy in adults with congenital heart defects (ACHD), placing greater emphasis on psychosocial health. Up to one-third of ACHD experience anxiety or depression, and half develop a mental illness during their lifetime. While there is solid evidence on the prevalence of mental health, many do not receive psychological, psychotherapeutic, or psychiatric treatment (PST) and the psychological care situation remains understudied. In a nationwide, online cross-sectional survey conducted in Q1 2024, 1486 ACHD aged 18 to 85 (M
