Long-Term Outcomes of Patients with Digestive Tract Congenital Anomalies and Their Caregivers in Uganda: A Cohort Study.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
In Uganda, long-term outcomes remain unknown for children living with digestive tract congenital anomalies (DTCA) after corrective surgery or hospitalization. This cohort study set in a tertiary hospital in Uganda investigated the long-term outcomes of children with DTCAs. Caregivers with deceased children completed a verbal autopsy, while those with live children completed a PedsQL quality of life (QoL) survey. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression and linear regression explored factors associated with death and quality of life, respectively. Of the 362 participating caregivers, 265 (73.2%) had a child with a DTCA who survived since hospital discharge. The median age and follow-up time were 3.2 years. The mortality hazard ratio for children with DTCAs was 2.70 (95% confidence interval 2.21-3.30). Mortality was associated with DTCA diagnosis, the presence of stoma, and higher household income. Our findings support the urgent need for outpatient community healthcare services specific to DTCA patients to counteract these consequences.
