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
Health surveillance of children with Down syndrome is often insufficient. We assessed adherence to the 2011 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) health supervision guidelines at a tertiary pediatric care institution in northeastern Colombia. This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed electronic medical records of 124 children under 13 years (59.7% were males, and 66% resided in a metropolitan area) seen between 2012 and 2023. Overall adherence was 57%. Adherence rates varied by age: high in neonates and school-aged children (>80%), moderate in infants and preschoolers (68%), and low in toddlers (39%). While most children underwent echocardiogram (99%), complete blood count (90%) and karyotype testing (78%) within the first month, fewer received timely hearing evaluations by six months (60%) or ophthalmologic evaluation by six months (34%). Significant non-adherence occurred during the first year and persisted through early childhood, highlighting the need to identify barriers and improve guideline compliance.
