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

Advances in the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) have led to dramatic improvements in survival for individuals with CHD. While adults with CHD represent a small percentage of admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU), the critical care needs of this population will grow as this population ages and develops increasingly complex cardiac and noncardiac conditions. Adults with CHD require special care in the ICU because of both their unique cardiovascular conditions and the multi-organ dysfunction that often accompanies their cardiac pathophysiology. This review aims to summarize the current epidemiology of critical care for adults with CHD, describe key physiologic and management considerations in caring for adults with highly complex CHD (eg, Fontan circulation, systemic right ventricle, and Eisenmenger syndrome), identify cardiac and noncardiac risk factors for adverse outcomes following admission to the ICU, and define key research and educational priorities for the future care of this vulnerable population.
