A Comparison of Hematological Profiles of Children With and Without Congenital Heart Defects Attending Two Selected Tertiary Hospitals.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the haematological profiles of children with and without congenital heart defects at two tertiary institutions. Methods: The study was a comparative, cross-sectional study involving the consecutive enrolment of 30 children with acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD), 30 children with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) and 30 children without CHD. Results: The results revealed that the mean/median levels of haematocrit, PT, INR, TT, protein C, and D-dimer were significantly greater in CCHD patients (HCT: 42.51%, PT: 16.70 s, INR: 1.27, TT: 16.60 s, protein c: 9330.35, D-dimer: 1323.59) than in ACHD patients (HCT: 35.37%, PT: 14.25 s, INR: 1.09, TT: 14.15 s, protein C: 7833.03, D-dimer: 587.08). Conclusion: The mean/median levels of the haematological profiles were significantly greater in children with CCHD than those with ACHD and lowest in those without CHD. Haematocrit and oxygen saturation are haematological factors associated with an abnormal haematological profile.
