Genetic Health Education in Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease: A Patient, Parent, and Clinician Perspective.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Improvements in outcomes for congenital heart disease (CHD) have resulted in a growing adolescent/adult CHD population. Subsequently, education on CHD causes and inheritance has been identified as important. This study aimed to determine population-specific understanding and preferences of CHD causes and inheritance education. CHD adolescents aged 13-18 years, their parent, and clinicians involved in the care of patients with CHD completed a purpose-designed, online survey outlining their current understanding of CHD genetics and inheritance and their preferences for education content and delivery. Approximately 50% of participants were unsure if CHD was caused by genetic factors, and 25% believed CHD was not genetic. Many participants (63% (19/30) adolescents, 81% (26/32) parents) wanted to know more about CHD causes, with most considering this important. Over 60% of participants indicated that CHD causes had not been discussed with them, despite 74% of clinicians (17/23) indicating they discuss this. Information on genetic causes of CHD and recurrence risks, delivered in-person with parents present, was the preferred option for the content and delivery of this information. Most clinicians indicated genetics education should be introduced between 12 and 14 years, whereas adolescents and parents preferred this to occur between 14 and 16 years. Participants want to know more about CHD causes and inheritance, in an outpatient setting with parents in attendance. The findings of this study support the development of a specialized genetics education program about CHD causes and inheritance for adolescents with CHD. Further, it provides important insight into the content, timing, and delivery of this information.
