Clinical outcomes following surgical intervention for critical congenital heart disease in neonates: a retrospective study in China.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. 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
objectiveThis study aims to examine the incidence and clinical outcomes of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) in neonates in China, with a specific focus on prognostic indicators following surgical intervention.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on neonates who underwent surgical correction of congenital heart disease (CHD) involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at a single tertiary care hospital between January 2022 and December 2024. Documented variables included patient weight, type of cardiac anomaly, duration of CPB, aortic cross-clamp time, and systemic circulation duration. Prognostic indicators, length of hospital stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) were also recorded.
resultsA total of 234 neonates underwent cardiac surgery with CPB during the study period. The cohort comprised 146 males and 88 females, with a mean weight of 3.64 ± 3.43 kg and a mean age of 12.10 ± 7.77 days. The mean duration of CPB time was 159.19 ± 67.51 min, mean cross-clamp duration was 95.53 ± 44.20 min, and mean bypass duration was 37.54 ± 28.98 min. The mean length of hospital stay was 25.43 ± 13.61 days, and the mean mechanical ventilation duration was 3.64 ± 2.71 days. Among the patients, 139 were diagnosed with cyanotic CHD, and 95 with acyanotic CHD. Emergency procedures were performed in 39 cases, while 195 cases underwent elective surgery. Radical surgery was performed in 215 cases, single-stage palliation in 4 cases, and intrapartum surgery in 15 cases. 222 neonates were discharged following recovery, and 12 deaths were recorded.
conclusionIn China, CCHD remains prevalent among newborns, posing a significant threat to their lives. With advancements in surgical and cardiopulmonary bypass techniques, the treatment system for these critically ill newborns is being progressively refined. This has led to continuously improving success rates and an increasingly diverse range of treatment options available.
